EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Pisces (the Fishes) from the Poeticon Astronomicon by C. J. Hyginus, dating back to Venice in 1485. Created using a woodcut technique and later enhanced with coloration, this artwork is a true testament to the talent of the Italian School during the 15th century. Pisces, one of the twelve constellations in astrology's zodiac system, takes center stage in this image. The intricate details bring these celestial fish to life as they gracefully swim across a starry backdrop. This depiction not only captures their physical beauty but also embodies their symbolic significance within astrology and astronomy. As we delve into the realm of science and cosmic exploration, it becomes evident that understanding these constellations holds great importance. Pisces represents empathy, intuition, and sensitivity – qualities often associated with those born under this sign. It serves as a reminder that our connection to the stars goes beyond mere observation; it influences our lives on Earth. The inclusion of this stunning artwork in private collections further emphasizes its value and historical significance. Preserved through time, it continues to inspire awe and fascination for both art enthusiasts and astrologers alike. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we are fortunate enough to witness this remarkable piece firsthand – an embodiment of centuries-old knowledge merging artistry with scientific exploration.
