EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite frontispiece of Bianchini's work on Venus, dating back to 1727. Featured in the book "Les terres du ciel" by Camille Flammarion and published by Marpon & Flammarion in Paris in 1884, this piece is a true gem from the French School of the 19th century. The image captures an enchanting scene filled with symbolism and mythology. A young girl extends her hand, offering a beautiful gift to a god-like figure. This intricate engraving represents knowledge and enlightenment as it adorns the blank page before the start of Bianchini's book. Intriguingly, at the center of this composition lies Venus Aphrodite herself - a mythological character synonymous with beauty and love. Surrounding her are elements that evoke astronomy, including a planet and an earth globe, symbolizing our connection to celestial bodies. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this timeless artwork from his private collection, preserving its historical significance for all to admire. The delicate details showcased in this photograph allow us to appreciate both the artistry behind it and its cultural importance within scientific literature. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of humanity's eternal quest for understanding our place in the universe – forever seeking knowledge through exploration and discovery.
