EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of scientific exploration from the 16th century. In this woodcut image titled "Forging a magnet, from William Gilberts De Magnete, 1600" we witness an English physicist delving into the mysteries of magnetism. The scene unfolds in a workshop adorned with an impressive fireplace and chimney, creating an atmosphere of warmth and curiosity. The focus is on the craftsman himself, diligently working at his forge. With intense concentration etched on his face, he embodies masculinity and virility as he experiments with magnetism. This inventive individual is none other than William Gilbert (1544-1603), known as the father of electricity for his groundbreaking discoveries. Gilbert's belief that Earth itself possessed magnetic properties led him to conclude why compasses always pointed north. His revolutionary ideas laid the foundation for our understanding of electromagnetism today. The woodcut technique adds depth to this historical artwork while capturing intricate details such as 16th-century fashion worn by both Gilbert and his surroundings. This evocative print transports us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in scientific history. Displayed proudly within private collections, this piece serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge through experimentation and invention.
