EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing illustration titled "Position of the Planets on the Right Hand" taken from Henricus Cornelius Agrippa's renowned work, De Occulta Philosophia Libri III. Created in Antwerp in 1533, this woodcut has found its way into a late 19th-century publication on the History of Magic. The intricate details and symbolism depicted in this image transport us back to the enigmatic world of palmistry and divination. The artist, belonging to the Flemish School of the 16th century, skillfully captures an amalgamation of occult knowledge and astrological significance. Within this diagram-like composition lies a wealth of hidden meanings waiting to be deciphered. Each planet is meticulously placed upon different areas of the hand, forming a cosmic connection between celestial bodies and human existence. This fusion between science and mysticism offers us a glimpse into how our ancestors sought answers about their destinies through chiromancy. As we delve deeper into this extraordinary piece, it becomes evident that it represents more than just an artistic creation; it serves as a portal to another era—a time when people believed that secrets were etched onto their palms. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans yearned for understanding beyond what was visible to them. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable woodcut continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. Its presence evokes curiosity about ancient practices while celebrating art's ability to transcend time and bridge gaps between cultures
