EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print, titled "Beached whale" takes us back to the 16th century. Created by an unknown Dutch artist from the Dutch School, this illustration showcases a remarkable scene of marine life on the shore. The print is part of a private collection and was featured in Eduard Fuchs' book, "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte von Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart" (Illustrated History of Manners from the Middle Ages to the Present), published in Munich around 1910. The image transports us to a time when whales were not just magnificent creatures but also significant symbols in history. This particular woodcut depicts a beached humpback whale, drawing attention to its massive size and presence against the backdrop of a sandy beach. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight both the beauty and power of these majestic animals. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with nature throughout different eras. It serves as a reminder that our relationship with wildlife has evolved over time while emphasizing our interconnectedness with the natural world. This woodcut print offers us an intriguing glimpse into maritime history during the Renaissance period, inviting us to reflect on how perceptions and interactions with marine mammals have changed over centuries.
