EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of animal heads dating back to the early 15th century. Created by an unknown artist, these intricate drawings are displayed in the esteemed Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The composition features four distinct animal heads: a camel, ram, goat, and wild boar. Each head is meticulously rendered with fine lines and delicate shading using various mediums such as chalk, ink, pen, pencil, and silverpoint. The attention to detail is remarkable as every fang, horn, tooth, and even the texture of fur or skin is beautifully captured. These animal heads offer us a glimpse into medieval artistry during the Renaissance period. They symbolize both the artistic skill of their creator and the cultural significance animals held during that time. Whether it be for religious symbolism or simply aesthetic appreciation of nature's wonders remains unclear. Preserved within the pages of Bernhard Degenhart's book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" this rare print transports us back five centuries ago when such artwork was highly valued. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and our desire to preserve its treasures for future generations.
