EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Tryphonius and the Basilisk" transports us to a world of ancient legends and mythical creatures. Created by the talented Italian artist Vittore Carpaccio in the late 15th or early 16th century, this print showcases his exceptional skill in capturing intricate details. The scene depicts St Tryphonius, a revered saint known for his ability to protect against evil forces, confronting a fearsome basilisk. The intensity of their encounter is palpable as both figures are locked in a battle of good versus evil. Carpaccio's masterful use of lines and shading brings these characters to life, making them seem almost tangible. This particular print was featured as an illustration in Frederic W Farrar's book "Allegories" with illustrations by Amelia Bauerle. It serves as a visual representation of one of the many allegorical stories found within the pages of this literary work. Now preserved in a private collection, this engraving continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal. Its inclusion in Look and Learn's catalogue ensures that it remains accessible for art enthusiasts around the world. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from centuries past, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and our constant quest for understanding the eternal struggle between light and darkness.
