EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient symbol of Ouroboros, a dragon depicted in a 16th-century woodcut from the French magic manuscript, La Magie noire. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship of this Renaissance-era artwork are evident in every stroke and curve of the dragon's form. The Ouroboros is an emblematic representation of eternal cyclic renewal, where the serpent-like creature devours its own tail, forming a perfect circle. This mystical symbol has long been associated with various aspects of mysticism and occult practices. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back to a time when magic and mysticism held great allure for those seeking hidden knowledge and spiritual enlightenment. The dragon's fierce expression hints at its power and wisdom as it engages in an endless cycle of self-consumption. Woodcuts like these were highly sought-after during the Renaissance period for their ability to convey complex narratives through simple yet evocative imagery. This particular piece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and esoteric symbolism prevalent during that era.
