EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable illustration from a French bestiary dating back to the 16th century. The artwork depicts an awe-inspiring mythical creature known as Triton, poised to devour a helpless sheep. Housed in the prestigious collection of the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this image offers us a glimpse into the rich medieval world of mythology and monsters. Triton, with its amphibious nature, stands at the center of attention in this vibrant color print. Its body is adorned with intricate scales that shimmer under the light, adding to its mystical allure. This legendary creature embodies both animalistic and human characteristics, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. The artist's skillful rendering transports us back to an era where bestiaries were highly valued for their depictions of fantastical creatures. These manuscripts served not only as sources of entertainment but also as educational tools about nature and morality during medieval times. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of how art transcends time and connects us with our historical roots. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mythical beasts throughout different periods and cultures.
