EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "ZODIAC: VIRGO, 1482". Created in the late medieval period, this woodcut illustration is part of Gaius Julius Hyginus' Poeticon Astronomicon. Printed in Venice in 1482, it beautifully depicts Virgo, the Virgin constellation. The image portrays a celestial woman personifying Virgo with grace and elegance. She stands tall, holding a staff adorned with stars that symbolize her connection to the heavens above. Her wings gracefully extend from her back, representing her ethereal nature as she watches over the earthly realm. The intricate details captured in this woodcut are truly mesmerizing. The artist's skillful craftsmanship brings forth every delicate line and curve on the figure's flowing gown and serene facial expression. This artwork not only serves as an astronomical representation but also carries deeper symbolic meanings associated with Virgo's characteristics such as purity and wisdom. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported back to an era where astrology held great significance and mystique. It reminds us of our fascination with the cosmos throughout history and invites contemplation about our place within its vastness.
