Homage to Fortunio Liceti's Monsters
This illustration is one of my artworks from my direct study. In this piece, I nod to Fortunio Liceti's Monsters. De Monstris is a series of illustrations depicting deformities, mermaids and other natural wonders/errors. Liceti's illustrations were both influential and prototypical by showing what 1600s Europe referred to as "freaks" in a more artistic, admirable way.
