The image transports us back to medieval Venice, Italy, where Gaius Julius Hyginus' Poeticon Astronomicon was printed. Aquarius, the water-bearer, takes center stage in this mesmerizing depiction. The artist skillfully personifies Aquarius as a noble figure holding a jug pouring forth water into the cosmos. Symbolizing the zodiac sign's association with water and its life-giving properties, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of Aquarius. The woodcut technique adds an enchanting touch to this artwork. Each line and curve meticulously carved into the wooden block creates a sense of depth and texture that draws viewers closer. It is truly remarkable how such an ancient printing method can still evoke awe-inspiring emotions today. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of astrology's enduring fascination throughout history.
