EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1851, we see the renowned Italian monk and astrologer Tommaso Campanella pulling the horoscope of Louis XIV as a newborn. The scene is set in 1638, with Louis XIII, Anne of Austria, and Cardinal Richelieu looking on intently as Campanella predicts the future of the infant king. Campanella, who had sought refuge in France after being banished from Italy, is depicted here using his knowledge of astrology to provide insight into the destiny of young Louis XIV. The intricate details captured in this engraving convey a sense of mystery and intrigue surrounding this momentous occasion. The presence of the royal family members adds to the gravity of the situation, highlighting the importance placed on astrological predictions during that era. As Campanella carefully studies the stars and planets to decipher their influence on Louis XIV's life path, one can't help but be drawn into this fascinating glimpse into history. This print serves as a reminder of both the superstitions and beliefs held by people in centuries past, as well as the enduring fascination with astrology and its role in shaping destinies. It captures a pivotal moment in time when fate was believed to be written in the stars, making it a truly mesmerizing piece for any art enthusiast or history buff.
