EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Gregor Reisch's Margarita Philosophica Basle, 1508, beautifully illustrates the intricate relationship between the organs of the body, the humours, and the signs of the Zodiac. The hand-coloured woodcut showcases Leo as the sole house of the Sun, symbolically governing the heart - hence "Lion Hearted". In this remarkable piece merging science and astrology, each organ is meticulously connected to its corresponding Zodiac sign based on ancient beliefs. The harmonious interplay between astronomy and medicine is vividly portrayed through this artwork. The sun's influence over Leo resonates with our understanding that it governs not only our physical heart but also represents courage and strength. This connection gives rise to expressions like "Lion Hearted" emphasizing bravery in facing life's challenges. Reisch's attention to detail shines through in every stroke of this woodcut masterpiece. The vibrant hand-colouring adds depth and dimension to an already mesmerizing composition. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how interconnected all aspects of existence truly are - from celestial bodies shaping our destinies to internal organs dictating our well-being. It serves as a timeless reminder that knowledge transcends time and continues to inspire us even centuries later.
