EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Somersaults" takes us back to the vibrant world of acrobatics and circus performances in the 16th century. Reproduced from a woodcut found in Arcangelo Tuccaro's renowned work 'Exercises in leaping and vaulting', this image showcases the incredible athleticism and artistry of acrobats during that era. The somersault, a timeless movement symbolizing grace, agility, and daring, is beautifully captured in this illustration. The acrobat defies gravity as they effortlessly flip through the air, their body contorted with precision and control. It is a testament to human strength and flexibility. As we delve into history through this mesmerizing piece of art, we are transported to an age where gymnastics was not only a form of entertainment but also an integral part of Renaissance culture. This illustration serves as a window into the past, allowing us to witness the physical prowess displayed by these skilled performers. Published in 1874 by Chapman and Hall in London as part of Paul Lacroix's comprehensive book 'Manners, Customs & Dress during the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance Period, ' this print has become an invaluable historical artifact. Bridgeman Images has preserved its essence for contemporary audiences to appreciate. Through this image, we celebrate both the rich history of acrobatics and our enduring fascination with movement. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans were captivated by feats of physicality that continue to inspire awe today.
