EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the depths of the underworld. Created by an Italian School artist in the 15th century, this miniature artwork titled "A travel in the underworld: the constellation of the Eagle and Orion" is housed in the Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy. Inspired by Dante Alighieri's renowned work, "Divine Comedy" this illustration comes from Matteo Palmieri's "La citta di vita" (The City of Life). It depicts a fantastical expedition through the afterlife, where zodiac figures and constellations guide our way. The focal point showcases two prominent celestial entities - the majestic Eagle and mighty Orion. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this illuminated manuscript page. The eagle, symbolizing power and transcendence, soars gracefully amidst a starry backdrop while Orion stands tall with his iconic belt shining brightly. This visual representation intertwines astrology with mythology to create a truly enchanting scene. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this historical masterpiece through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when art was not only visually stunning but also deeply symbolic. Whether you are an astrology enthusiast or simply appreciate exquisite art from centuries past, this print offers a glimpse into both history and imagination. Let it inspire your own journey as you explore realms beyond our earthly existence.
