EDITORS COMMENTS
Experience by Otto von Guericke is a captivating engraving that captures the awe-inspiring scientific experiment conducted by the renowned physicist. In this remarkable artwork, we witness the hemispheres of Magdeburg, symbolizing the power of atmospheric air pressure. The image showcases a vacuum created within these hemispheres, so powerful that even 16 horses fail to detach them from each other. This extraordinary feat demonstrates Guericke's profound understanding of physics and his ability to manipulate natural forces for experimentation. The unknown artist skillfully brings this momentous event to life through intricate engravings. The attention to detail highlights every aspect of the experiment, from the intense expressions on people's faces to the sheer strength exerted by the horses in their futile attempt. This print not only serves as a visual representation of Guericke's groundbreaking work but also stands as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. It reminds us that through scientific exploration and experimentation, we can uncover hidden truths about our world and push boundaries previously thought impossible. Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured this historical masterpiece with precision and respect for its significance. Through his lens, he allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and scientific importance encapsulated within Experience by Otto von Guericke.
