EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing painting by Frans Floris, a renowned Flemish painter from the 16th century. Titled "Astrology" the artwork beautifully depicts an allegory and personification of this ancient practice, accompanied by astrological instruments and a celestial globe. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he skillfully portrays the intricate tools used in astrology. In the center of the composition stands a woman, representing human knowledge and wisdom. She holds various instruments such as compasses, meters, and sundials that symbolize precision and measurement. Surrounding her are celestial objects like stars and moons that allude to cosmic forces influencing our lives. Adding further intrigue to the scene is an eagle perched on top of a raptor-like creature. These animals represent different aspects of astrology: the eagle signifies soaring above earthly matters while seeking higher truths, while the raptor embodies keen observation skills necessary for interpreting astrological signs. The inclusion of a celestial globe emphasizes humanity's fascination with understanding our place within the vast universe. Through this artwork, Frans Floris masterfully captures both scientific curiosity and mystical wonder associated with astrology. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this remarkable piece through her lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today. This print serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and continue inspiring generations with its profound symbolism.
