EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Constellation of Taurus, plate 2 from Atlas Coelestis, a masterpiece created by John Flamsteed in 1729. The hand-coloured engraving, skillfully executed by James Thornhill, takes us on a celestial journey through the wonders of the night sky. Flamsteed, renowned as the first Astronomer Royal at Greenwich, meticulously mapped out this astronomical chart with precision and artistry. The image reveals a majestic bull gracefully positioned amidst a sea of stars. Its powerful horns extend proudly into space while its presence dominates the zodiac landscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, our imagination is ignited with thoughts of ancient myths and legends associated with Taurus. We envision Orion's club raised high above his head in preparation for an epic battle against this formidable creature. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly awe-inspiring; each star carefully placed to create a harmonious composition that captivates both astronomers and art enthusiasts alike. This particular print from Bridgeman Images' private collection allows us to appreciate not only Flamsteed's scientific contributions but also Thornhill's artistic talent. Whether you are drawn to astronomy or simply fascinated by the beauty of nature's creations, this print serves as a reminder that there is always something extraordinary waiting to be discovered when we cast our eyes towards the heavens above.
