EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving of the moon, taken from the book Le Theatre du monde or Nouvel Atlas, transports us back to the 17th century. Created, printed, and published in Amsterdam by William and Jean Bleau, this piece showcases the remarkable artistry and attention to detail prevalent during the Baroque period. The image depicts a personified moon surrounded by symbols of astrology and astronomy. The moon is beautifully adorned with classicism-inspired decoration, while a bow and arrow suggest its association with Artemis or Diana. A carriage can be seen in the background, adding an element of theatricality to the scene. The horizontal composition allows for an immersive experience as we delve into this celestial world. The intricate etching inscription adds depth to our understanding of scientific exploration during that time. Housed within the Library of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain, this print serves as a testament to both Dutch craftsmanship and Spanish patronage. Its presence in such esteemed surroundings speaks volumes about its historical significance. Santiago Ortega's expert printing techniques have preserved every minute detail on this artwork over centuries. It is through his skillful execution that we are able to appreciate not only the beauty but also the scientific curiosity that inspired these engravings.
