1497 Astrologer Astrology Celestial Claims Holds Monk Proof Sphere Paranormal
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing historical scene from 1497, we witness a clash of beliefs between an astrologer and a monk. The astrologer confidently holds up a celestial sphere as proof of his claims, while the monk stands firm with the Holy Book in hand, ready to refute him.
The tension between science and religion is palpable in this image, as both men present their arguments with conviction. The celestial sphere symbolizes the astrologer's belief in the power of the stars and planets to influence human destiny, while the Holy Book represents the monk's faith in divine intervention.
It is fascinating to see how different worldviews collide in this moment captured by Mary Evans Picture Library. The astrologer's reliance on physical evidence contrasts sharply with the monk's trust in spiritual guidance.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless debate between reason and faith, science and religion. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have grappled with questions about our place in the universe and how best to understand it.
Ultimately, this image challenges us to consider our own beliefs and biases when confronted with conflicting perspectives. It invites us to reflect on what we hold dear and how we navigate life's mysteries.
