EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an early 17th-century astrologer deeply engrossed in his celestial observations. With a keen eye fixed on the sun, moon, and stars above, this knowledgeable figure epitomizes the flourishing era of astrology as a respected science. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this historical period through sepia tones and monochrome effects, lending an air of authenticity to the artwork. The astute observer's filled money bag hints at his prosperous profession, highlighting the lucrative nature of astrology during that time. Surprisingly, even today, in central Europe alone, approximately 30% of people still hold steadfast beliefs in astrology—a testament to its enduring influence across centuries. Intriguingly portrayed against a backdrop of space and astronomical wonders, this illustration not only celebrates human curiosity but also reflects upon our timeless fascination with understanding the cosmos. The caucasian male depicted here represents a pivotal moment in history when individuals sought solace and guidance from the alignment of planets and zodiac signs. Detlev van Ravenswaay masterfully captures both the spirit of scientific exploration prevalent during this period as well as its impact on European society. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder that while our understanding may have evolved over time, there remains an undeniable allure surrounding astrology's rich history within our collective consciousness.
