EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Constellation of Pegasus, plate 25 from Atlas Coelestis, a remarkable work by John Flamsteed. Published in 1729 and hand-colored with exquisite detail, this engraving is a true masterpiece that belongs to a private collection. John Flamsteed, known as the first Astronomer Royal at Greenwich, meticulously depicted the celestial wonders in his atlas. This particular plate reveals an array of animals and creatures intertwined within an astronomical chart. Among them is the iconic winged horse Pegasus, symbolizing grace and freedom. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, our eyes are drawn to other constellations such as Andromeda, Equuleus, Cygnus, Delphinus, Vulpecula, Lacerta, and Piscis Austrinus. Each constellation tells its own story through beautifully etched lines and shapes. The artist's attention to detail is truly awe-inspiring; every stroke brings life to these celestial beings. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to each element on the page. This enchanting engraving not only serves as an astronomical guide but also captures our imagination with its depiction of wildlife in the night sky. It reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with both science and art throughout history. Bridgeman Images has skillfully preserved this piece for all to admire—an invitation to explore the vastness of space while appreciating the beauty found within it.
