EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing creature known as the "DRAGON, 1640". The image features a woodcut from Ulisse Aldrovandi's renowned work, Serpentum et Draconium Historiae, published in Bologna, Italy in 1640. The dragon depicted here is identified as Draco Aethiopicus and its intricate details are brought to life through the skillful engraving technique employed by Aldrovandi. With its menacing presence and mythical allure, this dragon captivates viewers with its powerful wings spread wide open and scales glistening under the light. As we delve into this artwork, one cannot help but be drawn to the symbolism associated with dragons throughout history. Often portrayed as evil or malevolent creatures in folklore and mythology, they have long been feared for their ability to breathe fire and wreak havoc upon unsuspecting lands. Yet beyond their fearsome reputation lies an undeniable fascination that has endured across cultures for centuries. Dragons represent power, strength, and untamed freedom – qualities that both intrigue and intimidate us. In this woodcut print, we witness the dragon poised mid-flight; its tail gracefully trailing behind it. It serves as a reminder of our collective imagination's capacity to conjure up extraordinary beings that transcend reality. Whether you appreciate it for its artistic beauty or ponder over the deeper meaning it evokes within you, this striking depiction of Draco Aethiopicus invites us all to explore the realm where myth meets reality.
