Gunner firing a cannon, 1561
Gunner firing a cannon, 1561. The path of the projectile is shown according to Aristotelian physics. Since he believed that no body could undertake more than one motion at a time, the path had to consist of two separate motions in a straight line. From Problematum Astronomicorum by Daniele Santbech. (Basel, 1561)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in military history - the firing of a cannon by a gunner in 1561. The image, taken from Problematum Astronomicorum by Daniele Santbech, provides a fascinating insight into the concept of motion according to Aristotelian physics. Intriguingly, Aristotle believed that no body could undertake more than one motion at a time. Therefore, this woodcut illustration depicts the path of the projectile as consisting of two separate motions in a straight line. This unique representation showcases both the scientific understanding and artistic interpretation prevalent during the 16th century. The gunner himself stands tall and determined, his hand firmly gripping the cannon's mechanism. Clad in military attire, he embodies strength and precision as he prepares to unleash destruction upon his enemies. The field gun behind him serves as an imposing reminder of warfare's harsh realities during this era. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that weaponry played an integral role in shaping society back then. This print offers us not only an appreciation for ancient armaments but also insights into early ballistics and trajectory studies. Through its monochromatic lens, this print transports us back to a time when science was intertwined with warfare. It is truly remarkable how art can encapsulate centuries-old knowledge while simultaneously evoking emotions within contemporary viewers.
