EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing illustration from the 17th century. The artwork, titled "Illustration of Giulio Troilis idea of using a pantograph to draw in perspective" is a reproduction of an engraving originally published in 1683. It belongs to a private collection and was created by an anonymous Italian artist. The image depicts Giulio Troili's innovative concept of utilizing a pantograph for drawing in perspective. Troili, also known as Il Paradosso, was an accomplished Italian painter who revolutionized the field with his unique ideas. This particular illustration comes from his renowned work called "Paradossi per pratticare la prospettiva senza saperla" (Paradoxes for practicing perspective without knowing it). The intricate diagram within the image demonstrates Troili's methodological approach to capturing depth and dimensionality through the use of a camera obscura. A putto, or cherubic figure, can be seen actively engaging with this apparatus while exploring various perspectives. This remarkable reprinted version offers us a glimpse into the scientific study and artistic exploration that took place centuries ago. It serves as both a historical document and an inspiration for contemporary artists interested in understanding how past masters tackled complex concepts like perspective. With its rich history and detailed depiction, this print invites viewers to delve into the world of art theory and appreciate the ingenuity behind Giulio Troili's groundbreaking ideas on practical perspective drawing.
