EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back in time to witness a moment of intense warfare and military engineering. The image showcases a magnificent Star Fort, meticulously designed for defense, surrounded by a moat that acts as an additional barrier against invaders. As the fort stands tall and proud, it finds itself under siege, with enemy forces launching an assault on its fortified walls. The engraving is part of Robert Fludd's renowned work "Utriusque cosmi historia" published between 1617-1619 in Oppenheim. Fludd was not only an accomplished physician but also a skilled engineer who contributed greatly to the field of military architecture. This artwork serves as a testament to his expertise and innovative thinking. In this scene, we witness the clash between two opposing forces - one determined to conquer the star-shaped fortress while the other fiercely defends it. The chaos unfolds amidst clouds of smoke and flying debris as artillery fire fills the air with thunderous booms. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at both the beauty and brutality depicted within this engraving. It reminds us of humanity's relentless pursuit for power and control throughout history. Moreover, it highlights how strategic military structures like Star Forts played crucial roles in shaping warfare tactics during their era. This print transports us into a world where art meets history, offering us glimpses into past conflicts while honoring Fludd's remarkable contributions to both science and artistry.
