i learned about this 17th century engraving depicting Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns is called "With a Thread".

The design turns out to be an image created with the help of ONE SINGLE LINE, which twists in a spiral.

All face details and light and shadow transitions are created from thickening this line. The author of the work is the French artist Claude Mellan.

To the artist's contemporaries, his engraving method remained a mystery, and no one was able to repeat it.

This seventeenth-century engraving of Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns is titled "One with a single line”

Indeed, what from a distance resembles an ordinary drawing is, up close, an image created with a single line that spirals in a spiral. All details of the face and the transitions of light and shadow are created by the thickening of this line. The author is French artist Claude Mellan.

For the artist's contemporaries, his method of engraving remained a mystery, and no one has been able to repeat it. 🤔

Skillnaden mellan magi och vetenskap är kanske inte så stor, som man ofta hävdar. Den franske antropologen Claude Lévi-Strauss betraktar magin som ett viktigt förstadium till vetenskap. Magin förutsätter en form av lagbundenhet i naturen [och följer enligt magikern] vissa regler som är viljemässigt styrda men ändå bestämda. Magin är helt enkelt, menar Lévi-Strauss i sin bok Det vilda tänkandet, en annorlunda beskrivning av de lagar som styr naturen.
