EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a colored engraving of "The Sun" from the renowned book Le Theatre du monde or Nouvel Atlas, printed and published in Amsterdam by William and Jean Bleau during the 17th century. This exquisite piece of art combines elements of baroque and classicism, reflecting the artistic trends of its time. The image portrays a personification of the sun riding a chariot pulled by majestic horses across the sky. The sun's naked male torso symbolizes power and vitality, while his theatricality adds an element of drama to this celestial scene. The intricate engravings beautifully depict maps and symbols representing various countries, emphasizing the importance of cartography in understanding our world. Printed with meticulous attention to detail, this horizontal artwork is a testament to Dutch craftsmanship during the modern age. Its vibrant colors and decorative typography make it an enchanting addition to any collection or library. Acquired from the Library of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain, this rare printing edition holds historical significance as it represents both scientific knowledge about astronomy and geographical exploration. Santiago Ortega expertly captures every nuance in this photo print, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty even centuries after its creation.
