EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Un mortier du XVIe siècle" takes us back in time to the 16th century. Created by a French School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a remarkable invention from that era. The image depicts an intricately designed mortar, which was used as a defensive weapon during battles. The level of detail captured by the engraver is truly impressive. Every curve and line of this historical armament is meticulously etched onto the paper, allowing us to appreciate its craftsmanship. This artwork was originally featured in Charles Brandon's book "Les Inventions Merveilleuses" (Otto Spamer, c 1875), highlighting the innovative nature of this ancient technology. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the progress made throughout history and how inventors have shaped our world with their creations. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness in times when warfare demanded new strategies for defense. Now part of a private collection, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Its presence evokes curiosity about our past while celebrating artistic skill and historical significance. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can explore these treasures from centuries ago and appreciate their enduring beauty today.
