EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the 15th century takes us on a journey through time and space, as we delve into the world of constellations and astrology. Titled "Aries (the Ram)" this illustration is part of the renowned Poeticon Astronomicon by C. J. Hyginus, published in Venice in 1485. The intricate details of this woodcut bring to life the mythical creature that represents Aries, one of the twelve zodiac signs. With its majestic horns and powerful stance, the ram exudes strength and determination. Its presence against a starry backdrop reminds us of our connection to celestial bodies and their influence on our lives. As we gaze at this ancient artwork, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with both astronomy and astrology. The study of stars has always held great significance for civilizations throughout history, guiding navigation across vast oceans while also shaping beliefs about destiny and personality traits associated with each zodiac sign. This particular print holds immense historical value as it offers a glimpse into how people perceived these cosmic phenomena centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our constant quest for understanding the universe around us. Bridgeman Images' preservation of this piece allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its scientific importance.
