Title Page: Ox Head 1681

Editor: This is Melchior Küsel's "Title Page: Ox Head," a small print. It's incredibly detailed. I'm struck by the ruined architecture. What catches your eye about this piece? Curator: The ruins are fascinating, aren't they? It feels like peering into a forgotten world, a dreamscape where empires crumble. The contrast between the delicate etching and the subject matter is pure poetry. It whispers of time's relentless passage. Don't you think? Editor: Absolutely! The fine lines make the ruins feel even more fragile. It makes you wonder what stories these stones could tell. I guess that's why it's called an Ox Head, a place of remains... Curator: Precisely! It's about more than just the buildings; it's about what remains when all else fades. A somber, yet beautiful reflection.
