EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the early 18th century, titled "Whaling off the island of Jan Mayen" takes us back in time to witness a daring hunt on treacherous waters. The unknown artist skillfully captures the intensity and danger involved in this age-old practice. In this scene, a sturdy bone boat navigates through choppy waves as hunters prepare to confront their formidable prey. The whalers stand tall with harpoons in hand, ready to face the mighty creatures that roam these icy seas. Their determination is palpable, reflecting both their livelihood and survival. The island of Jan Mayen looms majestically in the background, its rugged terrain serving as an unforgiving backdrop for this perilous pursuit. It's a reminder of how nature can be both beautiful and merciless at once. Giancarlo Costa's expert restoration brings out every intricate detail of this historical masterpiece. Through his work, we are transported into an era when man battled against nature for sustenance and wealth. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of our ancestors' resourcefulness but also of our responsibility towards these magnificent creatures who once faced such relentless hunting. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder that progress should always be accompanied by respect for our environment and its inhabitants.
