EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and thought-provoking artwork of Athanasius Kircher, a renowned Jesuit scholar from the 17th century. Titled "Topographia Paradisi terrestris juxta mentem et conjecturas authoris" this engraving is a true masterpiece that delves into three books: De rebus quae ante diluvium, De iis quae ipso diluvio ejusque duratione, and De iis quae post diluvium a Noemo gesta sunt. Kircher's innovative approach to depicting biblical events is evident in this print, as he employs a novel method and an array of compelling arguments to explain and demonstrate his theories. The attention to detail in each element of the composition is awe-inspiring; it invites viewers on a journey through time as they explore the world before, during, and after the Great Flood. The Topographia Paradisi terrestris serves as both an artistic marvel and an intellectual treasure trove. It offers glimpses into pre-diluvian landscapes, presents scenes from Noah's Ark with remarkable precision, and sheds light on post-Flood events involving Noah himself. This engraving not only captivates with its visual splendor but also stimulates contemplation about humanity's ancient past. As we admire this extraordinary piece from the Liszt Collection, let us appreciate Kircher's dedication to unraveling historical mysteries while simultaneously showcasing his exceptional artistic talent.
