EDITORS COMMENTS
Conrad Meyer's Saturnus, plate one from Der VII Planeten, is an exquisite allegorical etching in black on ivory laid paper from the seventeenth century. This masterpiece, created by the artistic school of the Old Master period, depicts the deity Saturn holding his scythe, symbolizing his role as the god of agriculture, time, and the harvest. The allegorical figures of Capricorn and Aquarius flank Saturn, representing the zodiac signs associated with the planets Saturn and Jupiter, respectively. The scene unfolds in a pastoral setting, with infants and children playing in the foreground, adding a sense of innocence and wonder to the celestial subject matter. The allegory of Saturn's role in the solar system is further emphasized by the depiction of the planet Saturn and its rings in the background. This etching is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of art, astronomy, and astrology in the seventeenth century. It is a valuable addition to any art centre, art gallery, or art institute, providing a glimpse into the artistic and scientific traditions of the past. The intricate details and beautiful contrasts of black and white make this etching a stunning work of art, worthy of exhibition and study. The etching is a rare and precious artefact, showcasing the skill and talent of Conrad Meyer, a master of the etching technique. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture the imagination and inspire wonder, as well as to document the scientific and historical record of human knowledge.
