EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Optics" takes us back to the 17th century, showcasing a remarkable engraving from the book "L arte di restituire a Roma la tralasciata navigatione del suo Tevere". The image is part of a three-part series that delves into various aspects of Rome's neglected river navigation. Created by Cornelis Jansz Meijer, a renowned Dutch engineer and artist, this etching beautifully captures the essence of optics. The focal point of the image is an intriguing face, belonging to an unidentified man. He gazes intently through his glasses and magnifying glass, symbolizing his deep involvement in the world of science and vision. This depiction highlights the significance of optics in understanding our surroundings and exploring new horizons. The composition exudes a sense of curiosity and intellectual pursuit prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder that scientific advancements have always played an integral role in shaping society. Through this artwork, we are transported to Italy, where Meijer meticulously studied Rome's River Tiber while contemplating its historical importance for both engineering purposes and maintaining the Ecclesiastical State. As we admire this exquisite piece from Dutch School's private collection, it reminds us how art can seamlessly blend with science to create something truly extraordinary. Whether you appreciate medicine or ophthalmology or simply marvel at historical engravings capturing human ingenuity – this print encapsulates it all within its intricate details.
