EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century German engraving, titled "Rats attacking a tower" transports us back in time to an era filled with fear and intrigue. The intricate details of this print, captured by the talented photographer Leonard de Selva, allow us to appreciate the artistry and historical significance of this piece. In this scene, we witness a swarm of rats launching a relentless attack on a towering structure. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and terror that ensues as these rodents invade their unsuspecting target. Each stroke of the engraver's lathe brings life to these menacing creatures, evoking both fascination and unease. The image serves as a reminder of the power that animals can hold over humans when they become agents of invasion. It prompts contemplation about our own vulnerabilities in the face of unexpected threats from nature. Preserved within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this German School masterpiece stands as a testament to artistic expression during one of history's most tumultuous periods. Its presence in our modern world allows us to connect with past generations while appreciating their creativity and craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Leonard de Selva, let us reflect on how art has always been an avenue for exploring human emotions and experiences throughout time.
