EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The tail stars of 1742 and 1744" takes us back to a time when the wonders of the night sky were observed with awe and curiosity. Created by renowned print maker Jan de Groot between 1744 and 1745, this piece showcases his meticulous attention to detail. In this scene, we find ourselves on a tranquil farm under the vast expanse of the night sky. The lower half of the image is dominated by a picturesque landscape, while above it, celestial bodies come alive in all their glory. Two comets from different years, 1742 and 1744, take center stage with their radiant tails stretching across the heavens. To capture these celestial phenomena accurately, de Groot utilized his knowledge as an astronomer. He depicts smaller stars scattered throughout the sky using precise strokes that mirror their brilliance as seen through a telescope like Newton's Observatory in Leiden. This particular moment frozen in time occurred on February 16th during De Groot's observation period. His dedication to capturing such astronomical events shines through in every brushstroke. "The tail stars of 1742 and 1744" serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with our place within the cosmos. Quint Lox has skillfully preserved this historical masterpiece from Liszt Collection for generations to appreciate its beauty and marvel at our ever-expanding understanding of our universe.
