EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Nostradamus, a renowned 16th-century French physician and astrologer. The portrait, created in 1725 by Michel Nostradamus himself or an unknown artist, captures the essence of this intriguing historical figure. Nostradamus is depicted with a long beard that exudes wisdom and mystique, reflecting his deep involvement in superstition and divination. His attire reflects the fashion of the time, donning traditional French clothing complete with a hat. As court physician to King Charles IX of France, he held great influence within both medical circles and royal courts. The image transports us back to an era when astrology was considered a science rather than mere superstition. Nostradamus' prophecies were famous for their vagueness yet captivated audiences across centuries. This engraving from Icones Virorum by Friedrich Roth-Scholtz immortalizes his legacy as an astrologer and seer. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of Nostradamus' significant contributions to both medicine and occult practices during the 16th century. His work continues to fascinate scholars today as they unravel the mysteries behind his prophetic writings. This print serves as a testament to Nostradamus' enduring impact on history—a man whose occupation transcended boundaries between science and mysticism while leaving an indelible mark on society's perception of prophecy.
