EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Monsters born from the deluge" takes us back to the medieval era, specifically to the year 1493. Inspired by a wood engraving found in the Chronique de Nuremberg, this image showcases an array of extraordinary creatures that emerged after a great flood. The artist's imagination runs wild as they bring these monstrous beings to life. Each creature depicted is a unique blend of different animals and mythical beasts, forming hybrids that exist only within the realms of fantasy. From fearsome dragons with multiple heads to bizarre winged creatures with sharp talons, this print transports us into a world where imagination knows no bounds. The level of detail in this artwork is truly remarkable; every scale, claw, and fang has been meticulously captured through lithography. It serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of the English School in the 19th century and their fascination with medieval legends. Displayed against a dark background, these monsters appear even more menacing and mysterious. They remind us that throughout history, humans have always been captivated by tales of mythical creatures and their symbolic significance. This print not only offers an intriguing glimpse into medieval art but also sparks our curiosity about how people perceived fantastical beings during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we are still fascinated by these imaginative creations from our collective past.
