EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "SEA MONSTER, 1555" is a remarkable piece from Olaus Magnus' Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus. Created in Rome, Italy during the Renaissance period, this artwork transports us to the vast and treacherous ocean of darkness. The image depicts a scene filled with danger and trouble as a massive sea serpent emerges from the depths of the water. Its menacing presence looms over a sailing ship that finds itself on the verge of sinking. The shipwrecked vessel serves as a reminder of the perils faced by sailors who dared to venture into unknown waters. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this woodcut print. The intricate lines bring forth an eerie atmosphere, emphasizing both the evil nature of this mythical creature and its ability to devour anything in its path. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves aboard that ill-fated ship. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's constant struggle against forces beyond our control – whether they be natural or supernatural. "SEA MONSTER, 1555" not only showcases artistic mastery but also sparks our imagination about maritime exploration during an era when venturing into uncharted territories was met with great uncertainty. This woodcut print stands as a testament to human resilience and curiosity while reminding us never to underestimate the power and mystery that lies beneath the surface of our oceans.
