EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene near the coast of Norway, where a marine monster fiercely confronts a helpless swimmer. The image is an engraving by Olaus Magnus, a notable Swedish religious and geographer from the 16th century. It comes from his renowned work "Historia de Gentis Septentrionalibus" published in Venice in 1567. The unknown artist skillfully depicts the terrifying encounter between man and beast, showcasing the raw power and danger that lurks beneath the surface of Nordic waters. The monstrous creature, resembling a snake or dragon, looms over the swimmer with menacing eyes and sharp teeth. Its immense size contrasts starkly against the vulnerability of its human prey. This engraving serves as a reminder of nature's untamed forces and mankind's perpetual struggle to coexist with them. It evokes feelings of awe, fear, and curiosity about these mysterious creatures that inhabit our world's oceans. Giancarlo Costa has expertly preserved this historical artwork through his careful restoration process. This particular print now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its vivid depiction of an intense moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of both humanity's fascination with wildlife and our eternal quest for understanding our place within it.
