EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historiated initial P from the Naturalis Historia by Pliny the Elder. Created on vellum during the 15th century by an Italian School, this artwork can be found in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy. The intricate illustration depicts a fisherman engaged in his craft amidst a backdrop of nature's wonders. With delicate strokes and attention to detail, the artist brings to life not only the fisherman but also various animals that inhabit his surroundings. A skull and bear are prominently featured, adding an element of intrigue and symbolism to the scene. As we delve into this medieval masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever on paper.
