EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable study on military machinery, specifically focusing on a canon in its watchful pose. The illustration is part of the renowned work "De re Militari" by engineer Roberto Valturio, believed to have been created between 1405 and 1483. Dating back to 1470, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the intricate world of war technology during the Middle Ages. The canon stands tall and proud, with an ingenious system designed to lift it. Its imposing presence symbolizes both power and destruction, highlighting the significance of artillery in warfare. This detailed drawing not only demonstrates Valturio's expertise as an engineer but also serves as a testament to his contribution in advancing military tactics. The artist behind this exceptional print is Giancarlo Costa, who skillfully captures every intricacy of Valturio's original illustration. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate the precision and artistry that went into creating such complex machinery centuries ago. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where innovation was born out of necessity for survival. It reminds us that even amidst conflict and chaos, human ingenuity continues to push boundaries and shape our world.
