EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "DRACO, 1482" takes us back to the Renaissance era with its intricate figuration of constellations. The woodcut, originating from Gaius Julius Hyginus Poeticon Astronomicon in Venice, Italy in 1482, showcases the celestial beauty of Draco, Ursa Major (Big Dipper), and Ursa Minor (Little Dipper). The artist's skilled hand brings forth a mesmerizing representation of these starry formations. In this artwork, Draco the dragon intertwines gracefully with the two bear-shaped constellations. Its serpentine body winds through space as if guarding the heavens above. Ursa Major stands out prominently with its seven bright stars forming the iconic Big Dipper shape that has fascinated sky gazers for centuries. Meanwhile, Ursa Minor delicately complements its larger counterpart with its own Little Dipper configuration. The colored woodcut technique adds depth and vibrancy to this medieval masterpiece. Each detail is meticulously crafted to capture both scientific accuracy and artistic expression. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with the night sky and our constant quest for understanding our place within it. This image serves as a timeless symbol connecting us to ancient knowledge while also inspiring awe and wonderment at the vastness of our universe.
