EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "Figuration of Equuleus" transports us back to the medieval era, specifically Venice in 1482. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this Italian artwork are truly remarkable. The central focus of the image is a majestic horse, symbolizing strength and grace. Its reins are held by Gaius Julius Hyginus, a prominent figure in ancient Roman mythology and astronomy. As we delve deeper into the composition, we notice a star hovering above the horse's head, representing celestial significance. The artist skillfully incorporates various elements that add depth to the piece. A pair of wings emerges from either side of Equuleus, suggesting an ethereal connection with heavenly realms. This juxtaposition between earthly and divine realms creates an intriguing visual narrative. Woodcuts were widely used during this period as a means to reproduce images for books or manuscripts. In this case, it was featured in Gaius Julius Hyginus' Poeticon Astronomicon - a renowned work on astronomical myths and legends. As we admire this historical artifact preserved through time, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its cultural importance. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with both artistry and scientific exploration throughout history.
