This print takes us back to the 16th century, immersing us in the world of astronomy and art. The Southern Hemisphere Star Chart, created in 1537, is a remarkable piece based on Albrecht Durer's star charts from 1515. With its intricate illustrations depicting various constellations, this monochrome artwork offers a glimpse into humanity's fascination with the stars. In the lower left corner of the chart, we find a dedication to two influential figures: Ptolemy and Durer.

This historical artifact was printed in Cologne and is part of Stellarum MXXII - Books 7-8 edition of Ptolemy's renowned work Almagest. The image showcases not only our ancestors' understanding of astronomy but also their artistic prowess. The attention to detail and precision evident in each constellation highlight the meticulousness required for such an undertaking during that era.
