EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Flemish astrolabe from the 16th century. Housed in the Museo del Castello Sforzesco in Milan, Italy, this intricate instrument is a testament to the knowledge and craftsmanship of the Flemish School. The astrolabe, an essential tool for astronomers and astrologers during that era, allowed them to measure celestial bodies' positions accurately. Its delicate engravings and precise markings demonstrate both its functionality and artistic beauty. Photographer Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured every detail of this fascinating artifact. The image transports viewers back in time, inviting us to marvel at the ingenuity behind such a complex instrument. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with astronomy and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our place in the universe. This astrolabe symbolizes not only scientific advancement but also serves as a reminder of how art can be intertwined with science. Thanks to Costa's skillful photography, we can appreciate this historical treasure even if we cannot see it firsthand. It serves as a visual tribute to human curiosity and reminds us that there is always more to discover beyond what meets the eye.
