EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CANIS MINOR, 1482. Figuration of Canis Minor" takes us back to the medieval era with its intricate woodcut design. The image is a reproduction from Hyginus' Poeticon Astronomicon, published in Venice in 1482. The focal point of the print is the celestial figure of Canis Minor, also known as the Lesser Dog or simply Canis. This constellation holds great significance in ancient mythology and astronomy as it represents one of Orion's hunting dogs following him across the night sky. The woodcut technique used to create this artwork adds a unique charm and authenticity to the piece. The delicate lines and detailed patterns showcase the craftsmanship of medieval artists who meticulously carved this image onto wooden blocks for printing. Canis Minor has long been associated with Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, which shines brightly within this constellation. In various cultures, Sirius was believed to bring good fortune or serve as a guiding light during nighttime journeys. This print serves not only as an exquisite decorative piece but also as a symbol that connects us to our ancestors' fascination with celestial bodies and their desire to understand our place in the universe. It invites us on a journey through time, reminding us of humanity's enduring curiosity about both earthly wonders and those beyond our reach.
