EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 16th century takes us into the realm of mythical creatures and fantastical beasts. The print showcases "The flying dragon Amphiptere" also known as Amphithere, Amphitere, or Amphipthere. Created by an unknown artist, this masterpiece is featured in Conrad Gesner's Historia Animalium. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life a creature that exists solely in the realms of imagination. With its elongated body and majestic wingspan, the flying dragon captivates our senses and sparks our curiosity. Its serpentine form is adorned with scales that shimmer under an ethereal light. As we gaze upon this extraordinary creature, we are transported to a world where myths intertwine with reality. We can almost hear the sound of its wings flapping through the air as it soars above ancient landscapes. This artwork serves as a testament to human creativity and our innate desire to explore beyond what is known. It reminds us that even in times long past, artists sought to capture the essence of these mythical beings on paper for all generations to admire. Now preserved within Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Italy, this engraving continues to inspire awe and wonderment among those who lay their eyes upon it. It stands as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to bringing dreams and legends into existence.
