EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of the 15th Century Allegorical Apostle Astrolabe, a masterpiece of medieval craftsmanship and symbolism. The astrolabe, an ancient astronomical instrument used for measuring angles and locating celestial bodies, is depicted in exquisite detail alongside allegorical figures representing concepts such as avarice, lust, and death.
The Apostolic Clock Tower in Prague serves as the backdrop for this fascinating piece of history, with its ornate sculptures and intricate mechanisms adding to the overall grandeur of the scene. The clock dial itself is a marvel to behold, with its circular design and precise markings indicating the passage of time.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when mathematics and astronomy were closely intertwined with art and religion. The figure of Josef Manes stands out among the other allegorical figures, his presence adding an air of mystery to the composition.
Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into the rich tapestry of medieval life and thought. It reminds us that even in centuries past, people were fascinated by the mysteries of the universe and sought to understand their place within it through both science and art.
