EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Clepsydra, also known as a water clock, indicating hours and accompanied by a melodious chime. The image is derived from Robert Fludd's renowned work Utriusque cosmi historia, published between 1617 and 1619 in Oppenheim. In this intricately detailed engraving, we witness the ingenuity of Fludd's design as he combines artistry with scientific precision. The Clepsydra stands tall, its elegant structure adorned with delicate engravings that reflect the craftsmanship of the era. Water flows seamlessly through its mechanisms, marking the passage of time in an enchanting manner. The hour indicators on this extraordinary device are prominently displayed, allowing one to easily discern the current time. As each hour passes, a delightful chime resonates through space, adding an auditory dimension to this visual marvel. Fludd's Utriusque cosmi historia serves as a testament to his deep understanding of measurement and timekeeping devices. Through his work, he sought to unravel the mysteries of existence while celebrating human innovation and creativity. This mesmerizing print captures not only Fludd's genius but also invites us to contemplate our own relationship with time. It reminds us that even centuries ago people were fascinated by measuring and capturing moments within the fluidity of passing hours – an enduring fascination that continues to captivate us today.
