He is considered the founder of modern Natural History. In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, a harpy was a female monster in the form of a bird with a human face. They steal food from their victims while they are eating and carry evildoers (especially those who have killed their family) to the Erinyes. They seem originally to have been wind spirits. Their name means "snatchers". Ulisse Aldrovandi, 1642 ©Buyenlarge/UIG/Leemage; Buyenlarge Archive/UIG

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Renaissance woodcut print of Harpy Secunda from the 1642 book Monstrorum Historia by Ulisse Aldrovandi captures the essence of this mythical creature in all its terrifying glory. The Egyptian harpy, with its bird-like body and human face, is depicted in intricate detail, showcasing Aldrovandi's pioneering work in natural history.
In Greek and Roman mythology, harpies were feared for their ability to steal food from their victims and carry evildoers to the Erinyes. Originally believed to be wind spirits, these "snatchers" were a symbol of vengeance and punishment.
Aldrovandi's meticulous engraving brings this fantastical creature to life, highlighting his expertise as an anatomist and artist. The intricate details of the harpy's anatomy are both fascinating and eerie, drawing viewers into a world where mythical beasts roam freely.
This print serves as a reminder of Aldrovandi's contributions to modern natural history and his dedication to capturing the wonders of the animal kingdom. It is a testament to his skill as an engraver and his passion for exploring the unknown through art.
As we gaze upon this image of Harpy Secunda, we are transported back in time to an era where monsters roamed the earth and legends came alive. It is a true masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation.
