This print showcases "Two Diagrams with the Sun and the Moon" created by the Franco-Flemish School in the 13th century. Measuring at 23.3x16.4 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA. The artwork, executed using tempera, pen and ink, gold leaf, and paint on parchment, is a part of a larger collection known as Ms. Ludwig XV 4 De Natura Avium; De Pastoribus et Ovibus; Bestiarium; Mirabilia Mundi; Philosophia Mundi; On the Soul. It beautifully combines elements of bestiary, astronomy, planetary studies from medieval times. The intricate details within these diagrams are truly awe-inspiring. The artist's skillful use of illumination brings to life an array of celestial bodies such as stars and planets within our solar system. The sun shines brightly while casting its golden rays onto the moon below. This piece not only serves as a visual representation but also holds historical significance for understanding astronomical knowledge during that era. Its Latin inscriptions further add to its authenticity and scholarly value. As we gaze upon this miniature marvel from centuries ago, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with nature and our place within it.
