EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Aquarius, the Water Carrier, from the Poeticon Astronomicon by C. J. Hyginus. Created in Venice in 1485, this woodcut has been later colorized to enhance its visual impact. The Italian School of the 15th century masterfully crafted this artwork, which now resides in a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. In this depiction, we see a man representing Aquarius holding a jug pouring water into a celestial river below. This iconic image symbolizes the astrological sign associated with those born between January 20 and February 18. As one of the twelve zodiac signs, Aquarius holds great significance in astrology and astronomy alike. The intricate details of this woodcut highlight both scientific accuracy and artistic finesse. Every line and curve beautifully captures the essence of Aquarius' role as the Water Carrier within our cosmic understanding. This stunning piece invites us to contemplate humanity's connection to the vastness of space and our place within it. It serves as a reminder that even amidst celestial wonders, we are bound by natural forces that shape our lives on Earth. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another remarkable addition to their Fine Art Finder collection through this mesmerizing photograph print—an invitation to explore ancient wisdom merged with artistic brilliance for all enthusiasts of constellations, astrology, astronomy, science, or simply admirers of timeless beauty captured on paper.
