EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three emblematic objects, each bearing its own inscription and significance. The first emblem is a plow, adorned with the words "Hostinato rigore" which translates to "steadfast rigor". This symbolizes the dedication and hard work required in farming and country life. The second emblem features a compass, inscribed with the words "Destinato rigore" meaning "destined rigor". This represents the precision and meticulousness needed for navigation and geographical exploration. It reminds us of Leonardo da Vinci's fascination with both science and art. The final emblem portrays a lantern with a lit candle, accompanied by pen and color drawings on yellowed paper. These elements were created by none other than Leonardo da Vinci himself during the High Renaissance period. Preserved in the Royal Library of Windsor, this artwork dates back to around 1498. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), renowned as one of history's greatest polymaths, left an indelible mark on European art during the Renaissance-Baroque era. His mastery extended across various styles and periods, making him an influential figure in shaping artistic expression throughout Europe from the first to second millennium A. D. As we gaze upon this photograph taken in 2001, we are transported back in time to witness Da Vinci's genius firsthand. The plow signifies his appreciation for nature's bounty; the compass reflects his curiosity about our world's vastness; while the lantern illuminates his artistic brilliance through delicate sketches bathed in warm light. This image encapsulates not only Da Vinci's multifaceted talents but also serves as a reminder of humanity’s enduring quest for knowledge and beauty across centuries.
