EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an early design of a quick-firing cannon, dating back to 1482. The intricate woodcut image is derived from the renowned book "De re militari" (On Military Matters) by Roberto Valturio, which was first written around 1455 and later published in Verona in 1472. In this remarkable depiction, we witness the ingenuity and innovation of Italian medieval weaponry during the Renaissance era. This bizarre yet fascinating concept revolutionized warfare with its automatic firing mechanism. The revolving cannon barrel symbolizes the advancement in technology that emerged during this period. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia, transporting us back to the fifteenth century when armaments industries were flourishing across Italy. It serves as a reminder of how far our military equipment has evolved since then. This print not only captures a momentous invention but also reflects the spirit of scientific exploration prevalent during those times. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and determination to push boundaries. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the significant role that weapons play in shaping our world's history. It prompts us to ponder on how advancements like these have impacted warfare strategies throughout different centuries and countries. Ann Ronan Pictures' meticulous preservation allows us to appreciate this valuable piece of artistry and engineering excellence for generations to come.
