EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite architectural feature from the 16th century. Titled "Ex Antiquis Cameorum et Gemmae Delineata / Liber Secundus / et ab Enea Vico Parmen Incis" this piece was published around 1599-1622, with its original attribution to Enea Vico but later attributed to an unknown artist. The engraving, after Battista Franco's work, beautifully captures a close-up of a decorative gargoyle-like creature known as a sphinx. The image portrays both male and female figures standing beside the sphinx, adding intrigue and depth to the composition. The Latin script lettering adds an air of mystery and authenticity to this remarkable piece of Italian heritage art. Displayed in a museum setting, it invites viewers into a world where mythology intertwines with human imagination. The intricate details on the engraving highlight the skillful craftsmanship of Philippe Thomassin, who reproduced this series with precision and finesse. With wings spread wide and enigmatic expressions on their faces, these mythical creatures seem ready to take flight at any moment. This print is not just an object; it represents centuries-old history frozen in time. It transports us back to Renaissance Italy when artists like Battista Franco Veneziano were revered for their contributions to decorative arts and architecture. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured by an anonymous photographer from Heritage Images, we are reminded of how art transcends time and connects us with
