EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 16th century, where myth and reality intertwine. Inspired by a woodcut in Cosmographie Universelle from 1552, it beautifully captures the essence of Barnacle Geese. These magnificent creatures were believed to have an extraordinary origin - growing from barnacles attached to wood exposed to saltwater. The image is part of Le Moyen Age et La Renaissance, a publication by Paul Lacroix in 1847 that delves into the rich history of medieval times. It serves as a visual representation of the legend surrounding these geese, showcasing their mythical transformation with grace and elegance. As we gaze upon this lithographic masterpiece created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, we are transported to a serene pond surrounded by lush marshes. The geese gracefully glide across the water's surface, their presence both ethereal and enchanting. Through this photograph, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with nature's mysteries and our desire to understand the world around us. It invites us to explore ancient legends that once captivated imaginations and shaped beliefs. This remarkable piece now resides in a private collection but continues to inspire awe and wonderment among those fortunate enough to behold it. Its timeless beauty transcends centuries, reminding us that art has no expiration date - it exists solely for our admiration and contemplation.
