EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SEA MONSTERS, 1550" takes us back in time to the Renaissance era when exploration and curiosity about the unknown were at their peak. The woodcut from Sebastian Munster's Cosmographia, Basle, 1550 showcases a vivid depiction of sea monsters inhabiting the vast north Atlantic. As we gaze upon this artwork, our imagination is ignited by the fantastical creatures that roam these uncharted waters. The artist skillfully portrays a sense of danger and mystery through intricate details. A sailing ship battles against treacherous waves while men on board engage in warfare with these mythical beings. Amidst this chaos, various animals found in northern lands such as bears, foxes, and reindeer can be seen observing the spectacle from land. The woodcut captures both the awe-inspiring beauty and perilous nature of maritime exploration during that period. It transports us to an era where sailors braved the unknown sea of darkness filled with serpents and other unimaginable creatures. This piece serves as a testament to human fascination with discovery and our relentless pursuit to unravel nature's secrets. It reminds us of how far we have come in understanding our world since those times but also highlights how much there still is left to explore beneath the surface of our oceans.
