"Four Views of the Solar Eclipse of 18th July 1860" is a series of astronomical observations and illustrations created by the pioneering Italian astronomer Angelo Secchi. The work comprises a set of detailed drawings that capture the progression of a total solar eclipse as observed on July 18, 1860. Secchi, a Jesuit priest and scientist, was one of the early adopters of photography in astronomy, but for this event, he relied on direct observation and sketching.

The 1860 solar eclipse was a significant event for astronomers of the time, as it offered an opportunity to study the Sun's corona and other phenomena not observable outside of an eclipse. Secchi's observations were conducted from the Roman College in Italy, where he was the director of the observatory. His meticulous illustrations provide valuable insights into the solar features and the state of astronomical knowledge in the mid-19th century.

Secchi's work on the eclipse contributed to the understanding of solar physics and the structure of the Sun's atmosphere. His drawings are notable for their scientific accuracy and artistic merit, reflecting the intersection of art and science during the period. "Four Views of the Solar Eclipse of 18th July 1860" remains an important historical record of astronomical observation and is recognized for its contribution to the field of solar studies. The work exemplifies Secchi's legacy as a key figure in the development of modern astrophysics and his innovative approach to the visualization of celestial events.
