EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving "Lapis Polaris Magnes" by Jan van der Straet, also known as Joannes Stradanus. The artwork is a part of a private collection and was originally featured in the book "Kulturgeschichtliches Bilderbuch aus drei Jahrhunderten" by Georg Hirth in 1881-90. The image depicts a scene from the 16th century, where an Italian scientist can be seen deeply engrossed in his studies. Surrounded by books and textbooks, he sits at a desk with various scientific instruments scattered around him. A model sailing ship rests on one side, while a globe stands proudly on the other. The focus of this artwork is magnetism, as indicated by the title "Lapis Polaris Magnes". The scholar holds up a lodestone, observing its magnetic properties. A compass lies nearby, symbolizing navigation and exploration during that era. This historical piece not only captures the essence of scientific inquiry but also provides insight into European intellectual pursuits during the 16th century. It highlights Italy's significant contribution to scholarly endeavors and their role in advancing knowledge across Europe. With its intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship, this engraving serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece. Its digital cleaning has restored its original beauty for contemporary viewers to appreciate.
