EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher Archytas of Taranto as he flies a wooden dove. The engraving, taken from Athanasius Kircher's renowned work "Mundus Subterraneus" showcases the ingenuity and brilliance of both Archytas and Kircher. Archytas, who lived between 435-347 BC, was known for his contributions to various fields such as mathematics, music theory, and mechanics. In this depiction, he demonstrates his innovative mind by creating a flying device in the form of a wooden dove. This invention not only showcases Archytas' understanding of aerodynamics but also highlights his curiosity about exploring new possibilities. Athanasius Kircher, a Jesuit scholar from the 17th century, immortalized this moment through his intricate engraving skills. Known for his vast knowledge in diverse subjects ranging from oriental studies to geology, Kircher beautifully captures the essence of Archytas' achievement. The combination of these two brilliant minds in one image is truly remarkable. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history and reminds us that innovation knows no bounds when fueled by passion and intellect. This print is an invaluable piece that offers glimpses into both ancient Greece's intellectual pursuits and Renaissance-era scholarship. It invites viewers to appreciate the timeless quest for knowledge that has shaped our world today.
