The Beginning of the Silk Industry in Europe
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing plate 9 from the renowned series "Nova Reperta" (New Discoveries). Engraved by Philip Galle and later colorized by Jan van der Straet (Giovanni Stradano), this print takes us back to the early 17th century. The image portrays Emperor Justinian's audacious act of stealing silkworms from China in 552. As we gaze upon the scene, we witness an assembly of advisers and monks surrounding a throne, symbolizing power and authority. Mulberry bushes dominate the background, signifying their crucial role as food for silkworms. This artwork not only celebrates historical events but also pays homage to human ingenuity and innovation. It reminds us that silk production was once a well-guarded secret exclusive to China until it found its way into Europe through clandestine means. With intricate details meticulously engraved onto paper, this print transports us back in time. The vibrant colors added later bring life to every element within the composition. Through this visual narrative, we can almost feel the excitement that must have permeated throughout Europe during those early days when silk became an integral part of European industry. As we admire this remarkable piece from a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, let us appreciate how art has preserved significant moments like these – moments that forever changed our world's cultural landscape while bridging continents through trade and discovery.
