Durers Celestial Globe, 1515
Durers Celestial Globe, 1515. This shows the northern hemisphere, and was prepared in conjunction with the astronomer Stabius. Four astronomers are shown in the corners: Aratus Cilis; Ptolomaeus Aegyptius; Maniliusromanus; and Azophi Arabus (al Sufi). Albrecht Durer (1471- 1528) produced the first printed star charts in 1515. One chart, or planisphere, showed all the northern constellations; the other depicted the southern hemisphere. The positions of the stars were exactly fixed (according to Ptolemeys catalogue) and the figures were artistically portrayed, in a classical style. Durer also chose to illustrate the constellations that would appear on a globe as if seen from space. Taken from The Complete Woodcuts of Albrecht Durer by Dr Willi Kurth (1936). Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © SHEILA TERRY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Durer's Celestial Globe, a remarkable piece of art and science from the 16th century. Created in collaboration with astronomer Stabius, this particular globe focuses on the northern hemisphere. In each corner of the print, four astronomers are depicted: Aratus Cilis, Ptolomaeus Aegyptius, Maniliusromanus, and Azophi Arabus (al Sufi). Albrecht Durer was not only an artist but also a pioneer in astronomy. In 1515, he produced the first printed star charts which included two planispheres - one displaying all the constellations in the northern hemisphere and another depicting those in the southern hemisphere. What makes Durer's work truly exceptional is his attention to detail. The positions of stars were meticulously fixed according to Ptolemeys catalogue while being artistically portrayed in a classical style. Furthermore, Durer chose to illustrate these constellations as if they were seen from space itself. This monochrome woodcut print captures both the historical significance and artistic beauty of Durer's celestial globe. It offers us a glimpse into Renaissance beliefs about our place within the cosmos and serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with astronomy throughout history. Dr Willi Kurth's book "The Complete Woodcuts of Albrecht Durer" provides further insight into this extraordinary artwork that continues to inspire awe even today.
