1731 Johann Scheuchzer astronomy orbits
1731 Physica Sacra (Sacred Physics) by Johann Scheuchzer (1672-1733) astronomy the heavens revealing the glory of God, folio copper engraving drawn by a team of engravers under the direction of Johann Andreas Pfeffel (1674-1748). The engraving shows early refracting telescopes trained on the heavens, where there is a stylised representation of the planets and their moons following orbits in non-concentric circles around the sun. The goal of Scheuchzers work was to use the best contemporary science to illuminate the biblical account of human history in a sequence of 745 plates. At the time there was little doubt that science (physica) supported the literal truth of the Biblical chronology of creation and history

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 18th century, titled "1731 Johann Scheuchzer Astronomy Orbits". Created by Johann Scheuchzer and his team of talented engravers under the guidance of Johann Andreas Pfeffel, this folio copper engraving is part of the renowned Physica Sacra (Sacred Physics) collection. The image depicts early refracting telescopes pointed towards the heavens, revealing a stylized representation of planets and their moons orbiting around the sun in non-concentric circles. This artwork aimed to merge contemporary scientific knowledge with biblical accounts across its 745 plates. During that era, there was little doubt that science supported the literal truth found in religious texts regarding creation and history. Within this intricate illustration, one can spot references to influential figures such as Galileo, Kepler, Newton - pioneers who shaped our understanding of astronomy. The inclusion of celestial bodies like Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter adds depth to this visual narrative. Scheuchzer's work sought to bridge science and religion seamlessly while emphasizing God's glory through astronomical observations. It serves as a testament to humanity's curiosity about both physical laws governing our universe and spiritual beliefs guiding our existence. Paul D. Stewart has expertly captured this historical masterpiece in an exquisite print that allows us to appreciate its beauty and significance even today.
