EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Natural History Museum of Emperor Ferdinand III, as depicted in Ferrante Imperato's "Historia Naturale". Published in 1672, this engraving showcases the wonders that awaited visitors within the museum's walls. The image transports us into a world filled with taxidermy creatures, chests brimming with curiosities, and an extensive library dedicated to wildlife. The collector's passion for nature is evident through the meticulously arranged cabinets and cupboards housing a vast collection of stuffed birds, shells, and other fascinating specimens. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to a mesmerizing exhibit featuring a crocodile suspended mid-air. This glimpse into zoology sparks curiosity about sealife and its mysteries. It is clear that this early museum was not only a place for education but also served as a cabinet of curiosities where guests could marvel at the diversity of animal life. In this snapshot from history captured by Bridgeman Images, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping into this remarkable space. The visitor standing before us represents all those who have been captivated by these exhibits throughout centuries - eager to learn more about the natural world and its extraordinary creatures.
