According to legend, this peculiar creature was supposedly captured off the coast of Norway during that time. The woodcut, sourced from Konrad von Gesner's Nomenclator Aquatilium Animatium and Icones Animalium Aquatilium in mari and dulcibus aquis degentium in Zurich, Switzerland in 1560, showcases the vivid imagination and artistic skill prevalent during this period. The image itself is a testament to the fascination people had with exploring uncharted territories and encountering bizarre creatures lurking beneath the waves. Its intricate details bring forth an air of mystery as we try to decipher what lies behind those enigmatic eyes staring back at us.
