EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Dragon, 1678" is a remarkable piece of art created by the talented German artist Athanasius Kircher. The print is taken from his renowned work Mundus subterraneus, published in Amsterdam in 1678. Kircher's Mundus Subterraneus stands as a significant milestone in the exploration of our planet's physical composition. This particular illustration showcases a full-length depiction of a mythical creature - the dragon. With its wings spread wide and body coiled, the dragon appears both majestic and fearsome. The intricate engraving skillfully captures every detail of this legendary beast. Its monochrome presentation adds an air of mystery to the artwork, while also highlighting Kircher's mastery over his chosen art media. Intriguingly, the dragon depicted here seems to be breathing fire, adding an element of danger and awe to its presence. This portrayal reflects centuries-old mythology surrounding these mythical creatures that have fascinated cultures across time. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print from seventeenth-century Germany, we are transported back in time to an era when imagination intertwined with scientific curiosity. It serves as a reminder that even within ancient myths lie seeds of truth waiting to be discovered by intrepid explorers like Athanasius Kircher.
