EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of Johannes Hevelius, a prominent figure in the field of astronomy during the Baroque period. Created by Lambert de Visscher around 1668, this oval portrait measures 27.1x18.1 cm and is currently housed in the Czartoryski Museum in Cracow, Poland. Hevelius, born in 1611 and passing away in 1687, was a Polish astronomer whose contributions to the study of comets and lunar topography were highly regarded. This engraving was published as part of his renowned works "Prodomus Cometicus" (published between 1665-1668), "Cometographia" (published in 1668), and "Selenographia" (published in 1647). The image captures Hevelius' dignified presence as he gazes confidently into the distance. His dedication to advancing astronomical knowledge is evident through his intense expression. As one explores this enchanting artwork, it becomes clear that it not only serves as a testament to Hevelius' significant achievements but also stands as an emblematic representation of scientific progress during the Baroque era.
