EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable representation of the renowned Greek philosopher Aristotle, who lived from 384 to 322 BC. The engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 15th century and now part of a private collection, beautifully captures Aristotle's profound connection with the stars. In this artwork, Aristotle can be seen pointing towards the heavens, indicating his deep interest in astronomy. The image is derived from Thomas Bricot's "Textus abbreviatus Aristotelis super octo liris Phisicorum & tota naturalis philosophia" published in 1496. It serves as a testament to Aristotle's immense contributions to physics and natural philosophy during his lifetime. The engraving not only highlights Aristotle's intellectual pursuits but also symbolizes his belief in geocentrism - the notion that Earth lies at the center of our solar system. This concept was widely accepted during ancient Greece and heavily influenced scientific thought for centuries. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of artistry, we are transported back to a time when philosophy reigned supreme and ancient Greece thrived intellectually. Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured this historical artifact through photography, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details even today. This print serves as a reminder of how great minds like Aristotle shaped our understanding of the world around us and continue to inspire generations with their timeless wisdom.
