EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable painting titled "Portrait in foot of Ptolemee (Claudius Ptolemaeus)" by Girolamo Mocetto. Created in 1531, the artwork resides in the prestigious Jacquemart Andre Museum in Paris. The full-length portrait depicts the renowned Greek astronomer, Claudius Ptolemy, who lived from 90 to 168 AD. Mocetto's exquisite brushwork brings this ancient scholar to life, capturing his wisdom and intellectual prowess. In the background, a celestial globe symbolizes Ptolemy's significant contributions to astronomy and his geocentric model of the solar system. The painting not only pays homage to Ptolemy but also serves as a testament to the rich knowledge and artistic achievements of ancient Greece.
