"Scenographia Systematis Copernicani" is a notable astrological chart created circa 1543 by the Renaissance mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543). This chart is a significant historical artifact as it visually represents the heliocentric model of the universe, which Copernicus famously proposed in his revolutionary work "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres). The Scenographia illustrates the Sun at the center of the universe with the planets, including Earth, orbiting around it. This model marked a fundamental shift from the geocentric model that placed Earth at the center, which had been widely accepted since the time of the ancient Greeks.

The chart gained wider recognition and dissemination through "Harmonia Macrocosmica" (The Celestial Atlas, or the Harmony of the Universe), published in 1660 by the Dutch-German cartographer Andreas Cellarius. Cellarius's atlas is a comprehensive collection of elaborate celestial maps, which includes the Copernican system as well as other historical cosmological systems. The Scenographia is not only a testament to Copernicus's groundbreaking theory but also an example of the intricate and beautiful celestial cartography of the 17th century.

The Scenographia stands out for its artistic merit as well as its scientific significance. The chart is adorned with rich illustrations that reflect the Baroque era's aesthetic sensibilities, combining scientific information with elaborate decorative elements. It serves as a historical document that captures the momentous period of scientific change during the Renaissance and the early modern period, when long-held beliefs about the cosmos were being challenged and reimagined.

Today, the Scenographia is valued both as a piece of scientific history and as a work of art. It is studied by historians of science and art alike and is considered an important artifact in the history of astronomy. Its depiction in Cellarius's atlas has ensured its preservation and continued appreciation by audiences interested in the intersection of science, art, and history.
