EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning celestial map, titled "Atlas Celestis" and created by the Dutch astronomer Johannes Van Keulen in 1676, is a testament to the scientific advancements of the late 17th century. Housed in the Barcelona Maritime Museum in Spain, this intricately detailed print showcases the known constellations of the northern and southern hemispheres, as well as the zodiac signs and various celestial bodies. Van Keulen, a renowned scientist and cartographer, meticulously depicted the stars and their constellations in vibrant colors, providing an accurate representation of the night sky at the time. The map's horizontal orientation, a departure from the traditional vertical format, allowed for a more comprehensive view of the celestial sphere. The inclusion of various calendars and astronomical information further underscores the map's scientific significance. The "Atlas Celestis" served as an essential tool for navigators, sailors, and astronomers, enabling them to navigate the seas and chart the stars. Van Keulen's celestial map is a remarkable example of the intersection of science, art, and cartography during the Age of Discovery. Its presence in the Barcelona Maritime Museum is a reminder of Spain's rich history in maritime exploration and scientific discovery. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this map continue to captivate viewers, transporting them to the wondrous depths of the universe and the vast expanse of the sea.
