EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing frontispiece to "The Prophecies of M. Michel Nostradamus" published by Benoist Rigaud in 1568. Created by an anonymous English artist from the 16th century, this woodcut engraving is a true masterpiece that now resides in a private collection. At first glance, one's eyes are immediately drawn to the intricate details and symbolism within this artwork. An armillary sphere takes center stage, representing the celestial heavens and Nostradamus' deep connection with astrology. Surrounding it, we see dividers held by a god-like figure, symbolizing precision and measurement - essential tools for predicting future events. The composition also features an atlas, signifying Nostradamus' vast knowledge of geography and his ability to foresee global occurrences. The French prophet himself, Michel de Nostredame (1503-1566), is subtly depicted amidst these elements as if he were part of the divine tapestry woven into his prophecies. This print not only captures the essence of Nostradamus' enigmatic work but also serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with divination throughout history. It invites us to ponder upon our own beliefs in fate and destiny while marveling at the artistic skill employed centuries ago. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this remarkable piece of artistry for all enthusiasts to admire today. As we gaze upon this image, let us be reminded of
