Goats
EDITORS COMMENTS
from the "Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus" by Olaus Magnus, 1555 This image is a print of goats, as depicted in the seminal work "Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus" (History of the Northern Peoples) by Olaus Magnus, published in Rome in 1555. Olaus Magnus, a Swedish bishop, scholar, and cartographer, created this groundbreaking work to showcase the lands, peoples, and wildlife of the Nordic world, as it was then known to the European audience. The goats in this print are rendered with remarkable detail and intrigue. Their long, curved horns, which twist and turn in a seemingly impossible way, are a testament to the artistic skill and imagination of Olaus Magnus. The goats' shaggy coats, with their distinctively different colors and textures, add to the overall allure of the print. The historical significance of this image extends beyond its aesthetic appeal. Goats were an essential part of the Nordic way of life, providing milk, meat, and hides for the people. They were also revered in Norse mythology, where they were associated with the gods Thor and Freyja. This print is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a window into the natural world of the Nordic regions as it was perceived in the 16th century. The intricate details and the mythological undertones make it a fascinating piece of historical art, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the time. Olaus Magnus' "Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus" is a testament to the power of art and knowledge in shaping our understanding of the world. This image of goats, with its intricate details and historical significance, continues to captivate and inspire viewers even today.
