EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable piece of historical art titled "De rhinocerote Historiae animalivm Gesner Konrad". Created by the renowned Swiss naturalist and physician, Konrad Gesner, between 1516 and 1565, this artwork is a true testament to his expertise in zoology. The print itself features exquisite letterpress techniques combined with intricate woodcut designs that bring the subject matter to life. The focal point of this masterpiece is undoubtedly the majestic rhinoceros depicted in stunning detail. Every line and contour has been meticulously hand-colored, adding depth and vibrancy to its appearance. What makes this particular artwork even more fascinating is its significance as one of the earliest known depictions of a rhinoceros in European art. It serves as a visual representation of how these magnificent creatures were perceived during that era when firsthand encounters were rare. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness Gesner's dedication to capturing nature's wonders through his artistic talents. It reminds us of our own fascination with wildlife and encourages us to appreciate both their beauty and importance for future generations.
