EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th century print depicts the enigmatic figure of the Succarath, a folkloric beast from the annals of European mythology. The Succarath is portrayed as a fearsome yet protective creature, with the body of a large, muscular man and the torso of a serpent or dragon. Its most distinctive feature is the bushy tail, which it uses to shield and carry its young on its back. The origins of the Succarath are shrouded in mystery, with various interpretations and legends surrounding its existence. Some believe it to be a guardian of the forests, protecting the natural world and its inhabitants from harm. Others view it as a symbol of maternal love and protection, carrying its young with great care and devotion. This print, dating from the late 15th century, offers a rare glimpse into the rich tapestry of European folklore and mythology. The intricate details of the Succarath's form and the lush, verdant landscape in the background are rendered with remarkable skill and precision, showcasing the artistic prowess of the period. The Succarath's powerful presence and protective nature continue to captivate the imagination, inspiring artists, writers, and scholars for centuries. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of folklore and mythology to shape our understanding of the world around us and the deep-rooted human desire to explore the unknown.
