Description

This is the audio version of the blog post 'Wings and Wheels'. The post was written by Evie Mc, who is a volunteer with Courtauld Connects Conway Library digitisation project. It was first published on 6 November 2017. This audio version is read by Ellie, another digitisation volunteer.

In this blog Evie delves into the symbolism of a print from the Courtauld's collection. A surreal scene of figures with many heads and wings gliding over waters accompanied by enormous wheels covered in eyes leads Evie to explore biblical passages. Evie also uncovers the meaning of the names and abbreviations at the bottom of the image, and explores some of the other works done by the same artist and engraver.
