Hercule Hercules Manuscript Persian Star Symbol 1286 Bootes Corona Borealis Lyra
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CONSTELLATIONS, 1286" takes us on a celestial journey through time. The image showcases the intricate beauty of four constellations: Bootes and Corona Borealis on the right, and Hercules and Lyra on the left. Originating from a Persian manuscript dating back to 1286, this artwork is not only visually stunning but also holds historical significance. The constellation Bootes, known as the Herdsman or Bear Driver, can be seen in all its splendor with its distinctive shape resembling an elongated kite. Adjacent to it lies Corona Borealis, also known as the Northern Crown, which forms a graceful arc of stars reminiscent of a regal tiara. On the left side of this mesmerizing print are Hercules and Lyra. Hercules stands tall as one of the largest constellations in our night sky while holding his iconic club high above his head. Just beside him is Lyra, symbolized by its brilliant star Vega and often associated with Orpheus' lyre from Greek mythology. This Persian manuscript offers us a glimpse into ancient astronomical knowledge and cultural heritage that has been passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder that our fascination with stars transcends time and borders.
