EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock engraving from the 16th century depicts a meteor shower of 103 BC as a celestial spectacle transformed into an array of swords, pikes, and battleaxes raining down upon the earth. The intricate details of this historical artwork transport us back in time to witness the awe-inspiring event that took place over two thousand years ago.
The artist's interpretation of the meteor shower as weapons falling from the sky adds a dramatic flair to this natural phenomenon, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. The juxtaposition of ancient weaponry with astronomical elements creates a sense of wonder and mystery surrounding this cosmic event.
Located in Basel, Switzerland along the Rhine River, this woodcut engraving captures both the beauty and terror of nature's power as it unfolds above our heads. Each stroke on wood brings to life the chaos and grandeur of meteors streaking across space towards our planet.
As we gaze upon this historic print, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with the unknown mysteries that lie beyond our world. The meteor shower depicted here serves as a reminder of our humble place in the vast universe, where even ancient events can be immortalized through art for future generations to marvel at.
