Die Sieben Planeten, also known as The Seven Planets, is a series of engravings created by the Flemish artist Maarten de Vos in the late 16th century. Maarten de Vos, born in 1532 and deceased in 1603, was a prominent painter and draughtsman of the Flemish Renaissance, known for his religious and mythological scenes. The series is a remarkable example of the period's fascination with astrology and the classical tradition, reflecting the Renaissance interest in the harmony between the cosmos and human affairs.

Each engraving in Die Sieben Planeten represents one of the seven classical planets known in antiquity: the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These celestial bodies were believed to influence various aspects of life and human characteristics, a belief rooted in both classical mythology and medieval astrology. De Vos's work captures this intricate relationship by personifying each planet with its associated deity and symbolic attributes, often surrounded by scenes that illustrate their influence on the world.

The engravings are notable for their detailed and dynamic compositions, showcasing de Vos's skill in rendering complex narratives and his adeptness in the use of line and form. The series was widely disseminated through prints, making it accessible to a broader audience and contributing to de Vos's reputation across Europe. The engravings were often accompanied by explanatory texts that provided insights into the astrological and mythological significance of each planet, further enhancing their educational and cultural value.

Die Sieben Planeten stands as a testament to the rich interplay between art, science, and mythology during the Renaissance. It reflects the era's quest for knowledge and the desire to understand the universe's mysteries through the lens of classical antiquity. Today, the series is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance, offering a window into the intellectual and cultural currents of the 16th century.
