EDITORS COMMENTS

The artwork showcases the constellation of Leo, beautifully capturing its majestic presence in the night sky. As we delve deeper into this astronomical map from the 18th century, we discover that Leo is not just an ordinary lion; it holds a significant place in both astrology and astronomy. Known for its association with several meteor showers, most notably the Leonids occurring every November, this celestial feline has long fascinated astronomers. The intricate engravings depict not only Leo but also numerous distant galaxies that have been observed within this constellation. It serves as a reminder of our vast universe and ignites curiosity about what lies beyond our own planet. Originating from Paris in 1775 as part of Atlas Coelestis de Flamsteed by JJ Fortin, this monochrome masterpiece reflects both scientific precision and artistic finesse. Its historical significance cannot be overlooked either – providing invaluable insights into how people perceived and studied the cosmos during the Enlightenment era. Jean Fortin's creation invites us to appreciate the beauty of nature's wonders while simultaneously encouraging us to explore further into realms unknown.
