EDITORS COMMENTS
This panoramic view of Rhodes, captured in 1486 by the talented artist Erhard Reuwich, takes us back in time to a bustling harbor town. The hand-colored woodcut print showcases the exquisite detail and artistry of Netherlandish craftsmanship from the late 15th century. The elevated perspective allows us to admire the intricate rooftops and buildings that line the coastline, creating a picturesque scene that transports us to another era. The absence of people adds an air of tranquility, allowing us to focus on the natural beauty and architectural marvels before our eyes. Reuwich's skillful use of hand coloring brings life to this historic image, enhancing its vibrancy and depth. Each brushstroke contributes to the overall charm and authenticity of this piece. Originally part of Bernhard von Breydenbach's Peregrinatio in terram sanctam (Pilgrimage to the Holy Land), this woodcut print captures a moment frozen in time. It serves as both a visual record and an artistic interpretation of Rhodes during its heyday. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its enduring appeal as a testament to human creativity across centuries. This panoramic view invites us into a world long gone yet forever preserved through art.
