EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating engraving by Dirck Volkertsen Coornhert from the 16th century, is an intriguing allegory that personifies the globe as an elderly figure carrying the personifications of Knowledge and Love on its back. This masterpiece, created in the Netherlands during the 1550s, is part of the series "The Unrestrained World" and is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Dutch artistic school during this period. The image, with its bold lettering and intricate detail, depicts the World as a bearded, balding man, clad in a cloak and holding a staff. Knowledge is represented as a young man, with a book in one hand and a compass in the other, while Love is shown as a beautiful woman, holding a heart and a mirror. Two horses, symbolizing the East and the West, pull the World forward, emphasizing the idea of the constant movement and change of the world. Coornhert's skillful use of animals in this allegory is noteworthy. The horses, with their powerful muscles and determined expressions, add a sense of energy and dynamism to the scene. The lettering, with its elegant script and ornate flourishes, adds a sense of grandeur and importance to the image. This engraving, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Europe during the 16th century. The intricate detail, bold symbolism, and masterful use of animals make "The World Carrying Away Knowledge and Love" a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
