EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate artwork of "Philosophia" created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Durer in 1502. The print, dating back to 1906, showcases Durer's masterpiece from his collection of paintings, engravings, and woodcuts. In this allegorical figure, Philosophia is depicted as a seated woman enthroned on a majestic throne. Representing knowledge and wisdom, she embodies the essence of philosophy during the Renaissance period. Surrounding her are symbols representing different concepts and professions related to philosophy. The composition reflects Durer's meticulous attention to detail as he portrays four humours or temperaments: melancholic, choleric, phlegmatic, and sanguine. These temperaments were believed to influence an individual's personality traits according to ancient Greek philosophy. Notable philosophers such as Albertus Magnus, Claudius Ptolemy, Marcus Tullius Cicero, and Plato are also featured in this artwork. Their presence signifies their significant contributions to philosophical thought during that era. Durer's woodcut technique adds depth and texture to the piece while maintaining its monochromatic aesthetic. The print collector who acquired this artwork recognized its historical value and preserved it for future generations. This print serves as a window into the intellectual world of 16th-century Germany while paying homage to one of history's greatest artists - Albrecht Durer.
