EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Earl discourses of astronomy" takes us back to the enchanting world of knights and chivalry in the Middle Ages. Created by an unknown English artist from the 15th century, this print is a part of a private collection, showcasing its historical significance. Intriguingly, this illustration was featured in John Ashton's book "Romances of Chivalry" published in 1937. The image has been digitally cleaned, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details even more vividly. The scene depicts an earl engaged in deep conversation about astronomy with his fellow knights under the luminous glow of a full moon. This artwork beautifully captures the fusion between medieval romance and scientific exploration during that era. As we gaze at this mesmerizing piece, we are reminded of how astrology and astronomical observations were intertwined with knightly ideals and courtly love. The celestial bodies above symbolize not only our fascination with space but also our desire for knowledge and understanding. "The Earl discourses of astronomy" transports us to a time when science was still entwined with myth and legend. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tales of bravery and honor, humanity has always sought answers beyond earthly realms – reaching for the stars both metaphorically and literally.
