EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Asia from The Four Continents" takes us on a journey back in time to the late 16th century. Created by Maarten de Vos, a Flemish artist known for his intricate engravings, this piece showcases the rich diversity and exoticism of Asia during that era. The image is teeming with fascinating details that transport us to an unfamiliar world. In the foreground, we see a majestic female giraffe gracefully standing beside an elegant woman wearing a pointed hat and holding an incense burner. This juxtaposition of natural beauty and human adornment highlights the allure of Asian culture. Moving further into the scene, our eyes are drawn to a camelius dromedarius, commonly known as a one-humped camel, symbolizing trade routes and travel across vast deserts. Warriors clad in elaborate armor stand alongside these exotic animals, evoking images of ancient battles fought on Asian soil. Intriguingly veiled women add an air of mystery to the composition while elephants majestically roam in the background – their presence reminding us of Asia's deep-rooted connection with nature. Overall, this enchanting engraving captures both the wonder and mystique surrounding Asia during this period. It serves as a visual testament to Maarten de Vos' artistic skill in depicting cultural diversity through his meticulous attention to detail.
