EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sea creatures (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century German School of art. The image, part of a private collection, showcases an enchanting array of sea creatures that seem to have sprung from the depths of mythology and fantasy. Originally featured in Sebastian Munster's Cosmographia, this engraving is a testament to the early German language description of the world. It was later included in Otto Henne Am Rhyn's Kulturgeschichte Des Deutschen Volkes, published in 1886. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricate details and imaginative depictions found within. The artwork transports us to a time when mythical beasts roamed both land and sea. From monstrous fish with menacing teeth to fantastical creatures with multiple heads, this engraving captures our imagination and curiosity about the natural world as it was perceived centuries ago. Beyond its artistic value, this print also provides insight into historical geography and farming practices during the 16th century in Germany. It offers glimpses into European agriculture, folklore, religion, and culture at that time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for contemporary audiences to admire and explore. As we gaze upon these extraordinary beings depicted by skilled hands long ago, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with both real and imagined creatures throughout history.
