EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Stella octangula, a geometrical shape from Luca Pacioli's renowned book "De Divina Proportione" published in 1509. The engraving was created by none other than Leonardo da Vinci himself, adding an extra layer of historical significance to this artwork. The Stella octangula is a mathematical marvel that embodies the principles of geometry and mathematics. Its intricate design is a testament to the brilliance of both Pacioli and da Vinci, who were pioneers in their respective fields during the Renaissance era. In this image, we see the delicate lines and precise angles that form the star-shaped figure. It exudes elegance and symmetry, drawing our attention to its mesmerizing beauty.

Displayed against a plain background, this photograph allows us to appreciate every detail with clarity. The contrast between light and shadow enhances our understanding of its three-dimensional structure. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry intertwined with mathematics, it reminds us of humanity's endless quest for knowledge and understanding.
