Painting Description
A planisphere from the 'Atlas Coelestis' by Andreas Cellarius is a detailed celestial map that represents the spherical framework of the stars as seen from Earth. This map is part of a larger work published in 1660, which is renowned for its elaborate and artistic representations of the astronomical understanding of the heavens as per the cosmological theories of the time. Andreas Cellarius (c. 1596 – 1665), a Dutch-German cartographer, is best known for his harmonious and richly decorated celestial atlas, the 'Harmonia Macrocosmica', which includes this particular planisphere. The planisphere itself is a two-dimensional depiction of the night sky and constellations, designed to show the celestial sphere in a way that aligns with the viewer's local horizon, featuring a grid for coordinates that relate to the celestial equator and ecliptic, thus serving both educational and practical observational purposes. This work is significant not only for its scientific value but also for its artistic merit, as it embodies the Baroque period's fascination with the intertwining of science and art.
