EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CONSTELLATION: TRIANGULUM. Figuration of Triangulam" takes us back to the medieval era, specifically Venice in 1482. The woodcut artwork is a part of Gaius Julius Hyginus' Poeticon Astronomicon, an astronomical treatise that beautifully combines science and art. The image showcases the constellation Triangulum, also known as the Triangle, which has been depicted with great precision and artistic flair. The triangular shape formed by its three brightest stars is clearly visible against the dark backdrop of the night sky. As we gaze at this ancient woodcut, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with celestial bodies and their symbolic meanings throughout history. Stars have always held a special place in our collective imagination - they guide sailors across vast oceans and inspire poets to create verses that touch our souls. The intricate details carved into this piece highlight not only the technical skill of Italian artist Gaius Julius Hyginus but also his deep understanding of astronomy. Each star is meticulously etched onto the wooden block, allowing us to appreciate their unique positions within Triangulum. This print from Granger Art on Demand transports us back in time, inviting us to explore both scientific knowledge and artistic expression from centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world filled with technology and innovation, there is still beauty to be found in ancient wisdoms like those captured within this remarkable woodcut artwork.
