EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a scene of intense warfare. The image depicts a Star Fort, an architectural marvel of its time, defended by a moat and coming under siege. Created by Robert Fludd for his book "Utriusque cosmi. . . historia" this engraving showcases the intricate details of military engineering during this era. The fortification stands tall and imposing, with its pentagon shape and bastions strategically placed to provide maximum defense. Soldiers can be seen manning the walls, armed with cannons and artillery ready to repel any attack. The concept of warfare is vividly captured in this monochrome artwork. The print not only highlights the advancements in weaponry but also emphasizes the importance of strong defensive structures like forts during times of conflict. It serves as a reminder of how military tactics have evolved over centuries. As we gaze at this historical masterpiece, we are transported into a world where battles were fought on land rather than through screens or keyboards. It reminds us that behind every war lies human ingenuity and determination to protect what they hold dear. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill employed by Robert Fludd and gain insight into military history during the seventeenth century.
