EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable homage to astronomers throughout the ages. Six prominent figures in the field of astronomy are depicted, each contributing their unique insights and discoveries to our understanding of the universe. From left to right, we have Galileo Galilei, Johannes Hevelius, Tycho Brahe, Nicolaus Copernicus, and Claudius Ptolemy. These renowned individuals have left an indelible mark on the history of science with their groundbreaking theories and observations. Seated at the center is Hipparchus of Nicaea, who lived between 190 - 120 BC. Regarded as one of the greatest early astronomers, his contributions laid a foundation for future generations in unraveling celestial mysteries. The artwork is based on a piece by Joseph Mulder and Gerard Hoet that served as the title page for Joannis Luyts' 1692 work Astronomica institutio. This stunning engraving has been beautifully reproduced into a vibrant wall art print that captures both its historical significance and artistic charm. With its rich colors and vintage aesthetic, this decorative illustration adds a touch of elegance to any space. Whether displayed in homes or offices, it serves as a constant reminder of humanity's enduring curiosity about the cosmos. Ken Welsh's rendition perfectly encapsulates not only these influential astronomers but also our collective fascination with exploring the wonders beyond our world.
