EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1482, titled "MILKY WAY" transports us back to the Renaissance era in Venice, Italy. Created by Bernhard Maler, it depicts a mesmerizing scene of Greek mythology brought to life. The focal point showcases two ethereal figures gracefully tending to the celestial wonder that is the Milky Way. These divine beings are none other than the Greek goddesses of night and day - Nyx and Hemera. With delicate precision and care, they delicately weave their way through the vast expanse of stars, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle for all who gaze upon it. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this woodcut masterpiece. From the intricate folds of their flowing garments to the serene expressions on their faces, Maler skillfully captures both grace and power within these personifications of nature. As we admire this artwork today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its timeless beauty. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans were captivated by the wonders of space and sought ways to depict its magnificence through art. Let this remarkable print transport you into a world where ancient mythology meets artistic craftsmanship – where gods and goddesses come alive amidst constellations and cosmic splendor.
