EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1482 showcases the constellation Cepheus in all its celestial glory. The personification of Cepheus takes center stage, as an allegorical figure representing this starry formation. Created by Gaius Julius Hyginus for his renowned Poeticon Astronomicon, this artwork transports us back to late medieval Venice, Italy. The intricate details and delicate lines of the woodcut technique bring forth a sense of wonder and mystery surrounding Cepheus. This symbol of the night sky invites us to delve into the depths of our imagination and explore the vastness beyond our earthly realm. As we gaze upon this historic masterpiece, we are reminded that constellations have long been used as guides for navigation and storytelling throughout human history. They serve as visual representations of myths, legends, and ancient beliefs that continue to inspire awe in modern times. Let this enchanting print transport you to a time when stargazing was not just a hobby but a way to connect with something greater than ourselves. Allow yourself to be captivated by the beauty and symbolism captured within these celestial patterns.
