EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Constellation of Aries, plate 4 from Atlas Coelestis, a masterpiece by John Flamsteed. Published in 1729, this hand-coloured engraving is an exquisite representation of astronomical wonders. The artist behind this remarkable work is James Thornhill, who skillfully brought Flamsteed's vision to life. Flamsteed himself was a pioneer in the field of astronomy and held the prestigious position of being the first Astronomer Royal at Greenwich. His contributions to our understanding of celestial bodies are immeasurable, and this artwork serves as a testament to his brilliance. The image captures various animals and creatures that make up the constellation chart. From Taurus to Pisces, each intricate detail has been meticulously engraved onto paper. The focal point lies on Aries itself - known as "the ram" - surrounded by other constellations such as Andromeda and Cetus. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece, we are transported into a world where science meets artistry. It reminds us of humanity's eternal fascination with the cosmos and our relentless pursuit to comprehend its mysteries. This particular print belongs to The Stapleton Collection and resides within a private collection today. Its historical significance combined with its aesthetic beauty makes it an invaluable treasure for any admirer of astronomy or fine art alike.
