EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Galileo discovering new worlds" transports us back to the 17th century, a time of great scientific exploration and discovery. The image, a colour lithograph by Edward Frederick Skinner, depicts Galileo Galilei, one of history's most renowned astronomers. In this artwork, we witness Galileo immersed in his groundbreaking work as he gazes through a telescope into the vast night sky. His face is filled with awe and wonder as he observes celestial bodies that were previously unknown to mankind. This moment captures the essence of scientific curiosity and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. The artist skillfully portrays Galileo against a backdrop reminiscent of Renaissance Italy, emphasizing his Italian heritage and contribution to astronomy. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; from the intricate patterns on Galileo's clothing to the delicate rendering of stars in the sky, every element adds depth and authenticity.

It pays homage not only to Galileo but also to all scientists who have dedicated their lives to unraveling nature's mysteries. This print holds historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal.
