EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cattus volans, 1667" is a remarkable piece of art that transports us back to the 17th century. Created by Athanasius Kircher, a renowned German scholar and polymath, this print is part of his work "China Monumentis Illustrada". The image showcases an intriguing scene where a cat appears to be flying through the air. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraving, capturing both the gracefulness and curiosity of this airborne feline. It leaves viewers questioning whether it's an actual event or merely a whimsical depiction. Published in Amsterdam in 1667, this artwork reflects Kircher's fascination with Chinese culture and his desire to document its wonders for European audiences. Through his meticulous engravings, he aimed to bring China closer to those who had never set foot on its soil. As we gaze at this historic print today, we are reminded not only of Kircher's artistic talent but also his dedication as a scholar. This particular piece serves as a testament to his ability to bridge cultures through visual representation. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary engraving from Fine Art Finder for us all to appreciate centuries later. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide while offering glimpses into the rich tapestry of history and cultural exchange between East and West.
