EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the phenomenon of light refraction, specifically atmospheric refraction, which creates an illusion that the sun appears larger at sunrise or sunset compared to its size at the zenith. The anonymous illustration from 1925 is part of a private collection and showcases the intricate knowledge and understanding of optical effects during that era. The image portrays a mesmerizing scene where the sun's radiant energy interacts with Earth's atmosphere, causing a stunning display of colors. As the golden orb hovers just above the horizon, its magnified appearance captivates viewers' imagination and evokes a sense of wonder. The artist skillfully engraves this optical effect onto paper, immortalizing this natural phenomenon for generations to come. The delicate lines and careful shading bring out every detail in this vintage artwork. Stefano Bianchetti's meticulous reproduction ensures that we can appreciate this historical masterpiece today. This remarkable piece not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also reminds us of our planet's extraordinary relationship with light and how it can deceive our perception. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, let us marvel at nature's ability to create illusions through light refraction while acknowledging humanity's continuous pursuit of knowledge about our world and its mysteries.
