EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate engraving of the Allegory of Astronomy, showcasing an astrologer and Ptolemy deeply engrossed in studying the celestial sphere. Created in 1515 by E. Schon, this piece beautifully illustrates the essence of astronomy during the 16th century. The vibrant colors bring to life the geocentric system that was prevalent during Ptolemy's time, with sunbeams illuminating their faces as they delve into their studies. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable, from the intricate patterns on their robes to the expressions of concentration on their faces. Ptolemy, also known as Claudius Ptolemaeus, was a renowned astronomer whose work laid the foundation for our understanding of celestial movements. His collaboration with astrologers like those depicted in this artwork helped shape our knowledge of the universe. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to an era where astrology and astronomy were intertwined disciplines. The Allegory of Astronomy serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal quest to understand the mysteries of the cosmos and our place within it.
