EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Sheet of Animals," is a stunning example of the artistic and scientific achievements of the 16th century. Created by Enea Vico and published by Antonio Lafreri, this engraving is part of the series "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae," or "The Mirror of Roman Magnificence." The series showcased the natural wonders of the Roman world, including a diverse array of animals. In this particular print, we find an impressive collection of animals native to Eurasia. The animals are depicted in intricate detail, each with a name label in Latin at the bottom. From left to right, we see a jaguar, a lion, an elephant, a rhinoceros, a wild boar, and a Eurasian wild pig. The animals are rendered with great accuracy and attention to detail, reflecting the advanced knowledge of natural history during this period. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy and Europe during the Renaissance. It is now part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the natural world and the artistic achievements of the past. The black and white contrast of the engraving adds to its timeless beauty and makes it a beloved piece of historical art.
