EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting depiction of an elephant, taken from the renowned Historia Animalium by Conrad Gesner in 1560. The intricate engraving skillfully captures the majestic presence of this magnificent creature, showcasing its grandeur and strength. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, yet their talent shines through in every delicate line and intricate detail. This artwork is currently housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Lombardy, Italy. Gesner's Historia Animalium was a groundbreaking work that revolutionized the field of natural history during the Renaissance period. It provided detailed descriptions and illustrations of various animals from around the world, contributing to our understanding of zoology at that time. In this particular print, we are transported back to 16th-century Switzerland where Gesner meticulously documented his observations. The elephant depicted here exudes a sense of power and grace as it stands tall against a blank background. Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured this historical artifact through his lens with great precision and attention to detail. By sharing this image with us today, he allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance of Gesner's contribution to our knowledge of animal life centuries ago.
