Andromeda Constellations Gaius Interpretation Julius Mythological Upright Astronomicon Hyginus Santiago Ortega
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving from the 15th-century publication "Astronomicon" specifically depicting Andromeda, a mythological interpretation of the constellations. Created by Gaius Julius Hyginus in the 1st century, this artwork transports us back to ancient times when astronomy was intertwined with mythology. The intricate details of this engraving are truly remarkable. The graceful figure of Andromeda is depicted upright, her delicate features illuminated against the dark background. Her flowing hair seems to merge seamlessly with the stars that form her constellation, creating a celestial aura around her. Published in Venice in 1485, this piece exemplifies the Renaissance fascination with both science and classical mythology. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors sought to understand and interpret the mysteries of the night sky through storytelling and art. Santiago Ortega's skillful reproduction captures every nuance of this historical masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate its beauty centuries later. This print not only appeals to astronomy enthusiasts but also those who appreciate fine art and cultural heritage.
