EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "ASTROLOGY - ECLIPSES" takes us back to the Dark Year of 1652, when seven eclipses occurred, three of which were visible in England. The artist skillfully captures the essence of one such eclipse and its profound impact on society during that time. The image depicts a mesmerizing celestial event where the moon obscures the radiant sun, casting an eerie darkness upon the land. The intricate details in this woodcut bring forth a sense of mysticism and wonder as people gaze up at the heavens in awe and trepidation. William Lilly's work, "Annus Tenebrosus, or the Dark Year" delves into astrological interpretations of these lunar and solar eclipses. It explores how these cosmic phenomena influenced human lives and shaped their beliefs during an era riddled with uncertainty. Intriguingly esoteric yet profoundly relevant even today, this woodcut print serves as a window into our fascination with astrology and paranormal occurrences throughout history. It reminds us that despite technological advancements, we remain captivated by celestial events that connect us to something greater than ourselves. As we admire this artwork from TopFoto's collection, let it serve as a reminder of humanity's enduring curiosity about our place within the cosmos – forever seeking answers among stars while embracing both light and darkness.
