EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating creature known as the Monster Creature. With its hairy body and peculiar gait, this mysterious being is depicted walking on all fours. The image is a reproduction of an original plate from Ulisse Aldrovandi's renowned work "Monstrorum Historiae" published in Bologna in 1642. Aldrovandi, a Milanese naturalist and scientist, dedicated his life to studying and documenting various creatures, both real and imaginary. This particular illustration captures the essence of his fascination with monstrous beings that existed only in folklore or the depths of human imagination. The Monster Creature stands as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about the unknown. Its presence evokes feelings of awe, intrigue, and perhaps even fear. As we gaze upon this enigmatic figure, we are reminded of our own capacity for creativity and wonder. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured this iconic image from Aldrovandi's work, preserving its historical significance while inviting us to contemplate the boundaries between reality and fantasy. Through his lens, Costa invites us into a world where mythical creatures roam freely alongside humans. This print serves as a reminder that art has the power to transport us beyond our everyday lives into realms where anything is possible – even encounters with extraordinary beings like the Monster Creature.
