EDITORS COMMENTS
or "The Triumph of Virtue" is a captivating woodcut print created by the Italian artist Matteo Pagano in 1563. This exquisite artwork is a page from his illustrated book, "Libro Novo," specifically page 21 (verso). The image showcases a richly decorated scene filled with elements of nature, culture, and the passage of time. At the center of the composition, a tortoise, a symbol of longevity and wisdom, is depicted triumphantly eating a leafy branch. Surrounding the tortoise, various animals, including reptiles and birds, engage in peaceful coexistence. Floral patterns and leaf designs adorn the borders, adding an intricate layer of decoration to the print. The woodcut demonstrates Matteo Pagano's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of nature and the beauty of the natural world. The black and white contrast creates a striking visual effect, enhancing the intricacy of the design. The print is a testament to the artistic achievements of the 16th century, showcasing the depth and richness of Italian art and heritage. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is fortunate to have this historic artifact in its collection, allowing visitors to explore the intricacies of this masterpiece and gain a deeper understanding of the artistic and cultural context of the time. The "Trionfo Di Virtu" woodcut is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, nature, and the human connection to the natural world.
