EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing view of the island of Utopia, as imagined by Thomas More in his renowned book. Engraved by the talented Johann Froben in 1518, this artwork takes us on a journey to an idyllic and idealized society. The intricate details and precision of the engraving bring to life More's vision of a perfect world. The island is depicted with lush green landscapes, serene rivers flowing through harmoniously planned cities, and grand architectural structures that inspire awe. This visual representation invites viewers to explore every corner of Utopia's urban planning marvels. More's book, "De optmo republicae statu deque nova insula Utopia" explores themes such as philosophy, society, and humanism. It presents an alternative reality where social equality prevails and citizens live in harmony with nature. Through this print, we are transported back to the 16th century when literature played a crucial role in shaping societal ideals. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece captures not only the physicality but also the essence of More's utopian concept. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals dared to dream beyond conventional boundaries for a better world.
