EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Ms. De Sphaera fol. 12v The Moon" created in 1470 by an Italian School during the 15th century. Housed in the Biblioteca Estense in Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, this vellum masterpiece offers a glimpse into medieval navigation and astrology. The focal point of the image is a beautifully illuminated depiction of the moon surrounded by intricate details that symbolize its significance as a navigational guide and zodiac sign for Scorpio. A fleet of ships gracefully sails across the sea beneath the celestial body's watchful gaze, their sails billowing with wind as they navigate through treacherous waters. Intriguingly, one ship stands out from the rest with flames flickering atop it while a female figure holds a torch high above her head. This enigmatic scene adds an element of mystery to this medieval maritime tableau. The artist skillfully captures both scientific and astrological elements within this miniature painting, showcasing their understanding of meteorology and horoscopes during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable - from rigging to sailors' attire - creating an immersive experience for viewers. As we admire this rare piece from history, we are transported back to a time when caravels ruled the seas and astrology guided explorations. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our unyielding desire for knowledge even in ancient times.
