Rain of frogs recorded in 1355 (1557)
Rain of frogs recorded in 1355 (1557). Accounts of deluges of frogs and fish date back to biblical times. The phenomenon ocurs when a waterspout or tornado passes over a body of water and sucks the water, and whatever may be in it, up into the air, dropping it later elsewhere. From Prodigiorum ac ostentorum chronicon by Conrad Lycosthenes. (Basel, 1557)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1355 (1557), capturing a truly extraordinary event - a rain of frogs. Throughout history, accounts of such peculiar occurrences have been recorded, even dating back to biblical times. This natural phenomenon is believed to happen when a powerful waterspout or tornado passes over a body of water, sucking up not only the water but also any living creatures within it. These unfortunate amphibians are then carried through the air before being deposited elsewhere. The woodcut image showcases an eerie scene with dark clouds looming overhead, hinting at an impending downpour. In the foreground stands a majestic church, symbolizing faith and spirituality amidst this bizarre occurrence. The juxtaposition between religion and nature's wonders adds depth to this thought-provoking piece. Created by Conrad Lycosthenes and Unknown, this print comes from "Prodigiorum ac ostentorum chronicon" published in Basel in 1557. It serves as both documentation of historical events and scientific curiosity during that era. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork, we are reminded of the mysteries that lie within our world's meteorological phenomena. It prompts us to contemplate how ancient civilizations interpreted such events through their religious beliefs while simultaneously piquing our interest in understanding these natural wonders from a scientific perspective.
