EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sight (Visus), from the Five Senses" is a stunning piece of art that transports viewers to another time. Created by an unknown artist after Maerten de Vos, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of sight as one of the five senses. The allegorical figure depicted in the print represents sight, with her eyes wide open and focused on a looking glass. The intricate details in this artwork showcase the skillful craftsmanship of its creator. The use of lettering adds depth and symbolism to the overall composition. Surrounded by various birds, including an eagle perched atop her arm, this depiction alludes to biblical references found in the Book of Genesis. It also hints at Christian themes with Christ Antiphonetes appearing in the background. Displayed at an art gallery or exhibition, this historic piece serves as a reminder of our cultural heritage and artistic traditions. Its first edition status further enhances its value for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Whether admired for its aesthetic beauty or appreciated for its metaphorical significance, this engraved artwork invites contemplation on topics such as perception, spirituality, and human existence. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded not only of our ability to see but also how vision shapes our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
