EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate illustration of Taurus (the Bull) from the Poeticon Astronomicon by C. J. Hyginus, dating back to Venice in 1485. Crafted as a woodcut and later enhanced with vibrant colors, this piece is a true testament to the artistic brilliance of the Italian School in the 15th century. The image takes us on a celestial journey, delving into the realms of constellations, astrology, astronomy, and science. Taurus stands proudly at its center, exuding power and strength through every meticulously carved detail. Its muscular form is accentuated by rich hues that bring life to this ancient representation. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with the stars and our desire to understand their mysteries. The zodiac sign of Taurus has long been associated with determination and resilience - qualities that resonate deeply within us all. This print captures not only an exquisite work of art but also serves as a window into history itself. It invites us to explore our connection to both the natural world and the vast universe beyond our reach. Displayed in private collections around the world, including The Stapleton Collection featured here, this remarkable piece continues to inspire awe and wonderment among those fortunate enough to witness it firsthand.
