EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Chariot, or the Moon in Cancer" transports us back to the 15th century and offers a glimpse into the world of astrology and mysticism. Created by an unknown Italian artist from that era, this print is now part of a private collection. The image depicts Ludovico Lazzarelli, an intriguing figure who was not only an Italian poet and philosopher but also gained fame as an alleged magician and diviner during the early Renaissance. Lazzarelli's fascination with hermetism led him to translate the Corpus Hermeticum, expanding on previous translations by Marsilio Ficino. In this illustration, we witness the astrological connection between Cancer - ruled by The Moon - and its representation as a chariot. Pulled by two majestic horses or god-like beings, The Moon sits atop this celestial vehicle. It symbolizes movement, changeability, intuition, and emotional depth associated with those born under this star sign. This engraving beautifully captures both medieval artistry and astrological symbolism. Its intricate details invite us to explore further into ancient beliefs about our place in the cosmos. As we gaze upon it today through Bridgeman Images' lens of preservation and appreciation for fine art history, let us marvel at how these timeless illustrations continue to inspire wonderment centuries later.
