EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning miniature from the 15th century manuscript "Physionomia Rolandi Ulixbonensis" by Rolandus Scriptoris, also known as Roland of Lisbon. The artwork measures 35x25 cm and is housed in the Biblioteca del Palacio Nacional de Ajuda in Lisbon, Portugal. The intricate painting depicts the fascinating correspondences between organs and planets, highlighting the influence of celestial bodies on human moods. This scientific treatise explores the connection between astrology and human psychology, presenting an early Renaissance perspective on these subjects. In this ornate composition, nude figures represent various body parts while surrounded by elaborate zodiacal symbols. The artist skillfully captures both the macrocosm (the universe) and microcosm (the human body), creating a visual representation of how our emotions and personalities are influenced by cosmic forces. Although rooted in medieval pseudoscience, this manuscript offers valuable insights into historical beliefs about health and well-being. It serves as a reminder of humanity's ongoing fascination with understanding ourselves within the context of larger cosmic patterns. Luisa Ricciarini beautifully captures this detail from "Physionomia Rolandi Ulixbonensis" preserving its historical significance for contemporary audiences to appreciate.
