Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) was a Renaissance-era polymath whose theory of heliocentrism, in which the Sun rather than the Earth is at the center of the universe, formed a pivotal moment in the history of science. Born in the Polish city of Toruń, then part of the Kingdom of Poland, Copernicus was a mathematician, astronomer, physician, classics scholar, translator, governor, diplomat, and economist. His seminal work, "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), published just before his death in 1543, is often regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy and the defining epiphany that began the Scientific Revolution.

Among the most notable illustrations of Copernicus's heliocentric model is the 'Planisphaerium Copernicanum', a detailed map showing the Copernican system of planetary orbits. This illustration is part of 'The Celestial Atlas, or The Harmony of the Universe' by Andreas Cellarius, published in 1660, well after Copernicus's death. Cellarius's atlas is renowned for its elaborate and decorative astronomical illustrations, blending scientific detail with baroque artistry. The 'Planisphaerium Copernicanum' stands out as a historical and artistic representation of the Copernican model, capturing the revolutionary shift from the geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center of the universe, to a heliocentric one. This work not only reflects the scientific understanding of the time but also serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Copernicus's theory on both science and culture.
