EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel sketch by Fridtjof Nansen, titled "Moon-Ring with Mock Moons, and a suggestion of Horizontal Axes" transports us back to the 24th of November in 1893. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness a mesmerizing natural phenomenon set against the backdrop of a horizontal sky and sea. The cold Arctic waters glisten under the bright light as a mysterious ring encircles the moon. Within this ethereal circle, mock moons appear, adding an element of intrigue and wonder. This celestial spectacle evokes both artistic beauty and scientific curiosity. Nansen's artwork is not only visually stunning but also serves as a window into the world of literature and exploration. Taken from his book "Farthest North" this print captures an extraordinary moment during his famous Fram Expedition. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of the vastness and complexity of our solar system. It invites contemplation on concepts such as repetition, circularity, and geographical features that have fascinated humanity for centuries. With its vibrant colors and delicate strokes, Nansen's pastel sketch brings together artistry and scientific observation in perfect harmony. It offers us a glimpse into an era long gone while reminding us that even in our modern age, there are still mysteries waiting to be unraveled within our own world - if only we take the time to look closely enough.
