EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving captures the lunar eclipse that appeared the year Alexander the Great was born in 356 BC. The intricate details of this 15th-century artwork transport us back in time to witness this celestial event that held great significance in ancient Greek culture.
The moon, partially obscured by shadow, glows against a backdrop of sunbeams and sunlight, creating a mesmerizing contrast between light and dark. The artist's skillful rendering of this natural phenomenon evokes a sense of wonder and awe at the mysteries of the universe.
In ancient Greece, eclipses were believed to be omens from the gods, foretelling important events or changes in destiny. As such, the appearance of a lunar eclipse during Alexander's birth must have been seen as a powerful sign of his future greatness and conquests.
This historical print serves as a reminder of our connection to the past and our fascination with celestial bodies. It is a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity, as well as our enduring quest for knowledge about the world around us.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the timeless beauty and complexity of nature, which continues to inspire artists and astronomers alike to this day.
