EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 17th century - an armillary sphere. Housed in the Museo Nazionale delle Scienze e delle Tecniche in Milan, Italy, this intricate celestial instrument is a testament to the pursuit of knowledge and understanding during that era. Crafted by an unknown artist, this armillary sphere represents a fusion of artistry and scientific precision. It consists of multiple rings representing various celestial circles, including those depicting the signs of the zodiac. This particular piece serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with astrology and its connection to our understanding of the universe. The armillary sphere also symbolizes humankind's shifting perspective on cosmology during that time period. As heliocentrism gained traction, challenging traditional beliefs about Earth's position in relation to other celestial bodies, instruments like these were used to study and map out our solar system. Giancarlo Costa expertly captures every detail of this historical artifact through his lens. His photograph allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also invites us into a world where astronomy meets artistry. Displayed within the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo Da Vinci, this armillary sphere stands as a testament to human curiosity and our ongoing quest for knowledge about our place in the cosmos.
