EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SEA SERPENT, 1555" takes us back to the Renaissance era, where myths and legends intertwined with reality. The woodcut image depicts a scene in the Sea of darkness, located to the south and west of Europe. As we gaze at this ancient artwork from Olaus Magnus' Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus, we are transported into a world filled with mystery and danger. The sea serpent dominates the composition, its serpentine body gracefully coiling through the ocean depths. Its menacing presence evokes both awe and fear as it emerges from the dark abyss. This aquatic creature symbolizes evil forces lurking beneath the surface, reminding sailors of the perils that awaited them on their maritime journeys. In contrast to this monstrous creature, a sailing ship valiantly navigates through rough waters nearby. The ship represents human resilience against nature's wrath as it braves unknown territories in search of new horizons. The woodcut technique used in this print adds an exquisite touch to its overall aesthetic appeal. Every intricate detail is meticulously carved into the woodblock before being inked and pressed onto paper, resulting in a timeless masterpiece that has survived centuries. "SEA SERPENT, 1555" captures not only an extraordinary moment frozen in time but also our fascination with mythical creatures and our eternal quest for exploration. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness and danger lies beauty waiting to be discovered by those brave enough to venture forth into uncharted waters
