The Medusa Star - A Captivating Engraving from the 19th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing coloured engraving, titled "The Medusa Star" takes us on a journey back in time to the enchanting world of German children's literature. Created by an unknown artist from the German School in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection that cherishes its historical significance. Derived from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned publication, "A Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) between 1790 and 1830, this print showcases the mythical creature known as Medusa. With her serpentine hair and piercing gaze capable of turning any observer into stone, she embodies both terror and fascination. The intricate details of this engraving bring forth an array of emotions. The delicate strokes depict worms intertwining with Asterias caput medusae—a species named after Medusa herself—creating a visual spectacle that captures our imagination. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are reminded of how art transcends time and space. This particular piece has been preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today. Let yourself be captivated by "The Medusa Star". Explore its rich symbolism—the gorgon's head representing power and danger—and let it transport you to a realm where myths come alive through masterful engravings.
