EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and mesmerizing Prague astronomical clocks calendar plate from December 1865-66. Painted with meticulous detail on a copper plate by Josef Mánes, this artwork is housed in the Museum of the City of Prague, Czech Republic. The image captures a small section of the original calendar plate, revealing an enchanting scene filled with symbolism and celestial elements. A group of female figures adorned in elegant attire are surrounded by male counterparts, all representing different star signs within the zodiac. The presence of a goat signifies Capricorn, adding to the astrological theme. The artist's mastery is evident in his ability to bring together various elements seamlessly. The precision and skill required to paint such delicate details on a copper plate are truly remarkable. This artwork not only serves as a decorative piece but also functions as an accurate timekeeping device. As we gaze upon this exquisite creation, we are transported back in time to 19th-century Bohemia. It reminds us of our fascination with astrology and our never-ending quest for understanding time itself. This print allows us to appreciate Josef Mánes' artistic genius while offering glimpses into both history and mythology through its rich symbolism and masterful execution.
