"Copperplate: A Glimpse into the Magnificent 17th Century" Step back in time to the enchanting world of the 17th century, where copperplate engravings adorned prestigious institutions and captured the essence of a bygone era. In this captivating collection, we delve into various aspects that defined this remarkable period. The Inns of Court, renowned centers of legal education and practice, proudly displayed their armorials on copperplates. These intricate designs showcased their rich heritage and noble lineage. Imagine walking through those hallowed halls as you admire these exquisite engravings. One such masterpiece is Andreas Cellarius' Atlas Coelestis seu Harmonia Macrocosmica. Its copperplate engraving depicts Copernicus at lower right and Ptolemy at lower left, with the sun reigning supreme at its center. This celestial artwork from 1660 Amsterdam transports us to a time when astronomers challenged conventional wisdom. Henricus Hondius' Nova totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac hydrographica tabula takes us on an exploration across continents through his illustrated copperplate from 1630 Amsterdam. With meticulous detail, he presents a cartographic marvel that captures both land and sea in stunning clarity. Ezekiel's vision comes alive through another mesmerizing copperplate engraving—a chariot soaring amidst clouds while a hand extends from above holding out a book to him. This ethereal depiction hints at divine intervention and leaves us pondering its profound meaning. Nature's beauty finds its place within these delicate etchings too—white flowers dancing alongside green tea leaves (Thea bohea) or perhaps finding solace under the shade of a majestic lime tree (Tilia alba). Such depictions remind us of our connection to the natural world even during times steeped in grandeur. As we journey further into history, we encounter coat-of-arms engravings that symbolize the pride and heritage of prominent families.
