EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Geocentric universe as depicted in 1493. At its center, God enthroned is surrounded by the chosen ones and celestial beings, symbolizing divine authority over creation. The intricate diagram beneath illustrates the geocentric Ptolemaic universe, with Earth positioned at its core and encircled by water, air, and fire. The orbits of planets gracefully dance around our planet's sphere while the Zodiac signs mark their celestial paths. The Primum Mobile stands as an ethereal boundary between earthly existence and heavenly realms. In each corner of this woodcut masterpiece are representations of the four winds, reminding us of nature's influence on our world. This print not only reflects medieval beliefs but also serves as a testament to humanity's quest for knowledge during that era. It intertwines elements of religion, science, astronomy, astrology, cosmology into one comprehensive visual representation. Created by Claudius Ptolemy and brought to life by Hartmannus Schedel in his Liber chronicarum mundi (Nuremberg Chronicle), this fifteenth-century artwork holds immense historical significance. Its monochrome aesthetic adds an air of mystique to this religious artifact. As we gaze upon this image today from Heritage Images' collection without commercial intent or mention thereof - we are transported back in time to witness how ancient minds perceived our place within the vast cosmos.
