EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sun" by Johann Sadeler I, dates back to the 16th century and is a stunning example of Flemish artistic mastery. Part of Sadeler's series "The Seven Plantes," this allegorical work depicts the Sun as an elaborate chariot being pulled by two magnificent white horses. The Sun itself is represented as a radiant, golden disc with rays extending outward, symbolizing its life-giving power. The allegorical figure of the Sun is surrounded by various celestial bodies and animals, adding depth and meaning to the composition. Above the Sun, a bird with outstretched wings represents the zodiac sign of Scorpio, while a phoenix, the mythical bird of rebirth, flies below. In the background, a landscape with winding roads and transport vehicles suggests the passage of time and the cyclical nature of the solar system. This engraving reflects the intersection of art, science, and religion during the Renaissance period. The intricate details and masterful use of contrast in this black and white print showcase Sadeler's exceptional skill as an engraver. The Sun, as a powerful and awe-inspiring symbol, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, making this work a significant addition to the heritage of art and astronomy." (Los Angeles County Museum of Art, LACMA, holds this print in their collection.)
