EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable illustration from Mariano di Jacopo's renowned work, "De Machinis". The diagram depicts an ingenious method of supplying water, highlighting the brilliance of this Italian artist and engineer from the early Renaissance period. Intricately detailed with pen and ink, as well as watercolor on paper, Taccola's masterpiece captures the essence of his wide range of innovative machines and engines. This particular illustration focuses on a system that harnesses the power of pulleys and buckets to transport water efficiently. It beautifully portrays how rivers or streams can be utilized as a source while employing machinery for irrigation purposes. The coastal setting in the background adds another layer of fascination to this artwork. With its depiction of a treuil (winch) and windlass along the shoreline, it hints at Taccola's exploration into maritime engineering. His inventive mind is evident in every stroke, showcasing his ability to merge artistry with practicality. Preserved within Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy, this 15th-century copy serves as an invaluable testament to Taccola's contributions during his time. By studying these manuscripts alongside those held in Munich and Florence today, we gain insight into the genius behind these groundbreaking inventions. As we delve into this mesmerizing image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens through Fine Art Finder, we are reminded once again that art has always been intertwined with science and innovation throughout history.
