EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving by Philip Galle, created in the 16th century, depicts the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The intricate detail and masterful shading showcase Galle's exceptional artistic abilities, as he brings to life the grandeur and mystery of this ancient marvel. Originally created by Martin van Heemskerck, this engraving is a faithful representation of the original work. The Lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as the Pharos of Alexandria, was a towering structure located on the island of Pharos, off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt. It was built around 280 BC and stood as the tallest man-made structure for over a thousand years. The lighthouse served as a navigational aid for ancient mariners, guiding them safely into the harbor of Alexandria. The age and antiquity of the Lighthouse of Alexandria continue to fascinate scholars and history enthusiasts alike. This engraving, now housed in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, United States, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when human ingenuity and engineering prowess knew no bounds. The intricate details of the engraving, from the intricately carved columns to the delicate waves crashing against the shore, provide a captivating window into the ancient world.
