EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1551, when Conrad Gessner's groundbreaking work "Historiae animalium" was published. The woodcut featured here depicts an awe-inspiring creature known as the AUROCHS, a majestic wild ox that once roamed the lands of Europe. The image showcases the intricate details and artistic skill of Gessner's woodcut, capturing the essence of this magnificent beast. With its strong and muscular body, impressive horns curving upwards, and a fierce gaze from its piercing eyes, it is clear why this species commanded respect. However, there is a sense of melancholy surrounding this depiction as well. The AUROCHS is shown in a dying state - a poignant reminder that these incredible animals are now extinct. It serves as both a testament to their former existence and an urgent call for conservation efforts today. Gessner's "Historiae animalium" revolutionized zoology by providing detailed descriptions and illustrations of various animals for scientific study. This woodcut exemplifies his dedication to documenting nature with precision and artistry. As we admire this piece from Granger Art on Demand collection, we are transported into history where hunters observed these creatures in their natural habitat. It reminds us of our responsibility to preserve our planet's biodiversity so that future generations can appreciate the wonders that once walked among us.
