In this lithograph from 1865, we are transported back to the ancient city of Alexandria in the 2nd century BC. The image depicts Hipparchus, a renowned Greek astronomer, diligently studying the stars at the observatory of Alexandria. Hipparchus is shown surrounded by various instruments and tools of his trade, showcasing his dedication to unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos. His intense focus is evident as he meticulously examines celestial objects through his telescope. The artist Santiago Ortega has skillfully captured both the scientific nature and artistic beauty of astronomy in this colorful print. The vibrant hues bring life to Hipparchus' surroundings while highlighting his important role in advancing our understanding of the universe. As one gazes upon this horizontal composition, it becomes apparent that each personage depicted holds a significant place in history. Their collective efforts have paved the way for future astronomers and scientists alike. This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's enduring curiosity about our place in space and time. It invites us to appreciate not only Hipparchus' contributions but also those who came before him and those who continue to explore beyond what we can see with our naked eyes.
