EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, where sailors are seen engaging in a peculiar trade with a magician. The image captures the essence of mystery and intrigue as these brave seafarers purchase winds that have been intricately tied in knots. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of a bustling port in Flanders, where ships stand tall and ready for their next voyage. Amidst this maritime setting, men clad in naval attire gather around the enigmatic magician who holds the power to control wind itself. The concept of buying winds may seem fantastical, but it speaks volumes about the desperate measures sailors would take to ensure safe passage through treacherous waters. In an era when superstitions ran high and witchcraft was both feared and sought after, this woodcut offers a glimpse into the beliefs held by those at sea. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, we cannot help but marvel at Olaus Magnus' artistic prowess. His attention to detail brings every figure to life while maintaining an air of mysticism throughout. This monochrome masterpiece is not just a visual delight; it also serves as a window into centuries-old traditions surrounding maritime travel. Whether you're captivated by tales of naval warfare or fascinated by ancient customs, this print transports you back in time like no other. It reminds us that even amidst technological advancements today, there is still something enchanting about embracing age-old legends and practices from our past.
