EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Antediluvian monsters" from the 15th century. The artwork, created by the German School, is a fascinating depiction of mythical creatures that existed before the biblical flood. This particular print is part of a private collection and was featured in the book "Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance" by Paul Lacroix and Ferdinand Sere. The image transports us back to a time when imagination ran wild, as artists attempted to capture these fantastical beings on paper. Each monster is intricately detailed, highlighting their deformities and peculiarities. It serves as a reminder of how ancient civilizations perceived illness and disease, attributing them to supernatural causes rather than scientific understanding. The historical significance of this engraving cannot be overstated. It provides valuable insights into medieval beliefs about health and medicine during the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance period. The illuminated manuscript style adds an air of mystique to the artwork, further emphasizing its connection to European history. As we gaze upon this black-and-white masterpiece, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and our constant quest for knowledge about our past. Through art like this engraving, we can explore different eras while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship that has preserved these treasures throughout centuries.
