EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of intricate illustrations from Athanasius Kircher's groundbreaking work, "Ars Magna" published in Amsterdam in 1671. The engravings, created by the Dutch School during the 17th century, offer a glimpse into the world of scientific exploration and innovation. In this image, we see a camera-like device held by an anonymous scientist. This early precursor to modern photography highlights Kircher's pioneering efforts in optics and lens technology. Through his inventions, he sought to capture images with remarkable precision and clarity. The print also features various other inventions that were ahead of their time, such as the obscura - a precursor to the modern camera - which allowed for projection and manipulation of light. These illustrations serve as a testament to Kircher's insatiable curiosity about the natural world and his relentless pursuit of knowledge. With its meticulous details and intricate designs, this print not only celebrates Kircher's contributions but also serves as a reminder of how far science has come since 1671. It invites viewers to appreciate the ingenuity and creativity required for scientific breakthroughs throughout history. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this engraving offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own fascination with invention and innovation while paying homage to one of history's most influential scientists.
