EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Hipparchus in the observatory in Alexandria" we are transported back to ancient Greece, where scientific discovery and learning were at their peak. The image depicts Hipparchus, a renowned mathematician and astronomer of his time, engrossed in his studies within the walls of an observatory. The scene is filled with an air of intellectual curiosity as Hipparchus meticulously examines celestial objects through a telescope. His deep concentration reflects the dedication and passion he had for unraveling the mysteries of the universe. Surrounded by charts, maps, and various astronomical instruments, he delves into trigonometry calculations to accurately measure distances between stars. This artwork beautifully captures not only the essence of scientific exploration but also pays homage to one of history's greatest minds. It serves as a reminder that even thousands of years ago, individuals like Hipparchus pushed boundaries and expanded our understanding of astronomy. The artist's attention to detail shines through in this large chromolithograph print. Every stroke brings life to both Hipparchus' figure and his surroundings – from intricate patterns on his robe to delicate engravings on telescopes – creating a visually stunning representation that transports us back in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we cannot help but feel inspired by the legacy left behind by these early scientists who paved the way for future discoveries.
