EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Machine, 1678" is a remarkable piece of art created by the talented Athanasius Kircher. Featured in his renowned work Mundus subterraneus, published in Amsterdam in 1678, this engraving showcases Kircher's pioneering efforts to unravel the mysteries of our planet's physical composition. Intriguingly bouncing between centuries, this 17th-century concept connects us with the profound scientific advancements made during that era. The full-length illustration depicts an intricate machine reflecting the brilliance of solar energy within our solar system. With its precise details and meticulous craftsmanship, it transports us back to a time when German science was at its zenith. Kircher's Machine not only represents his deep understanding of astronomy but also reveals his mastery over various art media. This monochrome masterpiece serves as a testament to his genius and contributions to both science and artistic expression. As we delve into this print from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded of Jean Claude Carriere's words: "Art is a reflection on what it means to be human". Indeed, Kircher's Machine invites us to contemplate humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our eternal fascination with the cosmos.
