EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print showcases the enigmatic figure of Giordano Bruno, the 16th-century Italian cosmological theorist, philosopher, mathematician, poet, and occultist, as depicted by the renowned German artist Fidus (real name Hans Thoma) in the 1910s. The artwork, published by Hugo Hoppener, is a stunning example of the Symbolist movement in art. Bruno, dressed as a Dominican friar, is depicted in the portrait with a naked woman, her arms outstretched and holding an orb around Bruno's neck. The woman's image is symbolic of the universe, emphasizing Bruno's groundbreaking theories about the infinite universe and the plurality of worlds. Bruno's theories, which challenged the established beliefs of the Catholic Church, led to his eventual trial and execution in 1600. The artwork is framed in a beautiful Art Nouveau style, adding to its overall aesthetic appeal. Fidus' use of bold lines, vibrant colors, and intricate details bring the image to life, capturing the essence of Bruno's revolutionary ideas and the mystical allure of the occult. The print is a testament to the enduring fascination with Bruno's legacy and the power of art to convey complex ideas in a visually striking way.
