EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Geometry (Geometry)" by Cornelis Cort and Hieronymus Cock, we are transported back to the year 1565. The artwork depicts a scene filled with symbolism and intrigue. At the center of the composition stands a woman, representing Geometry herself. She holds a globe in one hand, measuring distances with her compass while wearing a city crown on her head. Surrounding her are men engrossed in their study of geometry, observing intently as she demonstrates various measuring instruments and consults books for knowledge. The setting is an intriguing mix of ancient ruins and majestic buildings that form the backdrop for this intellectual pursuit. As if adding an element of mystery, a toad and snake can be seen at the foot of Geometry's path, symbolizing both wisdom and danger. This print from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection captures not only the essence of mathematical exploration but also invites us to contemplate our place within history. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans were driven by curiosity and sought understanding through observation and measurement. Whether you're fascinated by art or mathematics or simply appreciate historical imagery, "Geometry (Geometry)" offers endless possibilities for interpretation and reflection on our shared human journey towards knowledge.
