EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CONSTELLATION: LEPUS, 1482. Figuration of Lepus" takes us back to the medieval times in Venice, Italy. The woodcut from Gaius Julius Hyginus Poeticon Astronomicon, created in 1482, beautifully captures the essence of this celestial symbol - Lepus, also known as the rabbit constellation. The intricate details and craftsmanship showcased in this artwork are truly remarkable. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but be drawn into a world where stars and rabbits intertwine. The artist's skillful use of lines and shading brings life to this ancient representation of Lepus. This woodcut holds historical significance as it represents not only an astronomical observation but also reflects the artistic style prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to human curiosity about the cosmos and our desire to understand its mysteries. As we contemplate this image, we are reminded of how constellations have played significant roles throughout history - guiding sailors at sea or inspiring myths and legends passed down through generations. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this rare gem for us to admire today. This print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind it and its cultural importance within astronomy studies.
