EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing artwork titled "Monsters born from the Deluge". Created by an anonymous German artist in the 15th century, this piece is based on wood engravings found in the renowned Chronique de Nuremberg, printed in 1493. The illustration was later included in Paul Lacroix's remarkable book, Science and Literature in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The image transports us back to a medieval world filled with mythical creatures and fantastical tales. These grotesque monsters emerge from a chaotic flood, their demonic forms twisted and deformed. Each creature possesses its own unique deformities, evoking both fascination and unease within viewers. As we gaze upon this extraordinary engraving, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with darkness and our eternal struggle against evil forces. It serves as a powerful reminder of how art can transcend time, allowing us to connect with historical narratives that continue to captivate our imagination. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation through Bridgeman Art Library. It offers us an opportunity to delve into the rich tapestry of medieval artistry while contemplating themes such as monstrosity, mythology, and human nature itself.
