EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Full Moon, 1635" is a masterpiece created by the talented artist Claude Mellan during the Baroque era. Commissioned by Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc and Pierre Gassendi, an esteemed theologian with a profound interest in astronomy, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of the lunar landscape. Mellan's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this close-up depiction of our celestial neighbor. The full moon shines brightly against the dark night sky, illuminating its craters and rugged terrain. The artist skillfully uses contrasting shades of black and white to create depth and texture within his work. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to 17th century France, where scientific exploration was flourishing. Peiresc and Gassendi's passion for understanding the solar system led them to commission Mellan's expertise in capturing the beauty of celestial bodies. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage art collection, this print serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and scientific curiosity. It invites us to contemplate our place within the vastness of space while appreciating Mellan's exceptional talent for bringing heavenly wonders down to earth through his engravings.
