EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 15th century, we witness a traveler's encounter with two monstrous tigers that possess an eerie resemblance to the mythical Basilisk. The scene is taken from "De Tygribus" a collection of fables by Sebastien Brant, which draws inspiration from Aesop's tales. The image transports us back to ancient Greece, where fantastical creatures and moral lessons intertwined in literature. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this era, showcasing his imagination and creativity through intricate details. As our traveler faces these formidable beasts on horseback, we are reminded of the courage and virility required to embark on a journey into the unknown. The horses' presence symbolizes strength and resilience amidst uncertainty. This engraving not only serves as a visual representation of an adventurous tale but also invites contemplation on human nature and morality. It reminds us that even in fictional realms, there are valuable lessons waiting to be discovered. Through its antiquity and historical significance, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the medieval period's fascination with monsters and fantastic creatures. It stands as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about what lies beyond our known world. Whether you find yourself drawn to ancient mythology or simply appreciate exquisite artistry, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its blend of fantasy and reality.
