EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Virgo, the Virgin, taken from the Poeticon Astronomicon by C. J. Hyginus and published in Venice in 1485. Crafted with intricate detail and precision, this woodcut engraving is a testament to the artistic mastery of the Italian School during the 15th century. In this depiction, Virgo stands gracefully with her arms outstretched as if she were embracing the celestial realm above. Her wings elegantly unfurled behind her back symbolize both her connection to heavenly beings and her ethereal nature. This portrayal seamlessly blends elements of angelic beauty with astrological symbolism. The artist's skillful rendering captures not only Virgo's physical attributes but also conveys a sense of mystery and wonder associated with astrology and astronomy. The delicate lines etched into the woodcut bring forth a sense of depth that draws viewers into this enchanting cosmic scene. Virgo's presence as an astronomical figure reminds us of humanity's fascination with understanding our place within the vast universe. It serves as a reminder that science has long been intertwined with art, inspiring generations to explore both outer space and inner selves. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its timeless beauty—a true gem for any admirer of constellations, angels, or celestial wonders alike.
