EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the remarkable experience of Otto von Guericke, a renowned physicist from the 17th century. In this image, we witness Otto's groundbreaking experiment with the hemispheres of Magdeburg and the pressure of atmospheric air. The scene unfolds as Otto creates a vacuum within these hemispheres, resulting in an astonishing display of strength. Despite their immense power, sixteen horses struggle to detach themselves from each other due to the force exerted by the trapped air. This awe-inspiring demonstration showcases the profound knowledge and ingenuity possessed by Otto von Guericke. Engraved in 1664 by an unknown artist for Gaspar Schott's "Tecnica curiosa sive mirabilia artis" this print preserves a momentous event in scientific history. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of understanding natural phenomena. The intricate details captured in this engraving bring forth an appreciation for both physicality and intellect. The fine lines etched on paper convey not only technical precision but also evoke wonderment at how such experiments can expand our understanding of the world around us. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded that it is through experiences like those undertaken by Otto von Guericke that humanity continues to push boundaries and unravel mysteries yet unknown.
