EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "An Astronomer" or "Euclidarius," dates back to the 1540s and is an exquisite example of Renaissance art. The print is from the first German encyclopedia, published in Augsburg, Germany, by Stainer. The subject of the print is depicted as a scholarly figure, dressed in the fashion of the time, with a long cloak draped over his shoulders and a pointed hat adorning his head. He stands in a serene landscape, gazing up at the night sky with a sense of wonder and fascination. The moon, sun, and various celestial bodies are depicted in the background, with the astronomer's hand pointing to the lunar surface, suggesting his expertise in lunar observations. The intricate details of the print, from the folds of the astronomer's cloak to the stars in the sky, showcase the exceptional artistry of the unknown creator. This woodcut print is a testament to the rich heritage of scientific exploration and the enduring allure of the cosmos during the Renaissance period. Today, it is a prized possession of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, adding to its extensive collection of historical and artistic treasures.
