"Called Stradanus: A Journey through Drawings and Prints" Step into the world of Emperor Justinian, as depicted by the renowned artist called Stradanus. Through his intricate drawings and prints, we witness the grandeur and historical significance of this era. In his first masterpiece, "Receiving the Imported Silkworm Eggs, " Stradanus captures the momentous introduction of these precious eggs to Europe. Nestorian monks carefully transport them from afar, symbolizing a pivotal turning point in history. Moving forward, we explore another captivating scene titled "Gathering Mulberry Leaves. " This plate showcases the meticulous process of feeding silkworms with these nourishing leaves. The details are so vivid that one can almost hear their tiny munching sounds echoing through time. Stradanus's talent shines in his title plate for "Vermis Sericus, " an enchanting publication on silkworms. With delicate strokes and precise lines, he brings to life every aspect of these fascinating creatures. The publisher must have been thrilled to present such a visually stunning work. Not limited to nature alone, Stradanus also reveals his mastery in capturing animals' essence. In "Horses Dog, " executed during the 17th century using pen and brown ink wash techniques, he depicts their gracefulness with remarkable precision. Venturing further into symbolism, we encounter a thought-provoking piece called "Vanitas. " Created during the mid-16th to early 17th century using pen and brown ink medium, it serves as a reminder of life's transience and our mortality—a profound reflection on human existence. Another allegorical triumph awaits us in "Church Allegory. " Painted with utmost care using point brush technique during the 16th century; this artwork celebrates spirituality's power over earthly matters—an inspiring testament to faith's enduring strength. Continuing our journey through silk-related wonders is Plate 6 from Stradanus's "Reeling Silk" series.
