"Constellation of Aries, Plate 4 from Atlas Coelestis" is a historical celestial chart depicting the Aries constellation, created by the English astronomer John Flamsteed (1646–1719). Flamsteed, who served as the first Astronomer Royal, compiled extensive observations that culminated in the posthumous publication of "Atlas Coelestis" in 1729. This atlas was a monumental work in the field of astronomy, providing one of the most detailed and accurate celestial mappings of the era.

The plate dedicated to Aries is part of a series that illustrates the 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union, showcasing the stars as they were cataloged by Flamsteed during his meticulous sky surveys conducted at the Greenwich Observatory. The depiction of Aries in Plate 4 is not only scientifically significant but also artistically embellished, reflecting the baroque artistic sensibilities of the time.

Sir James Thornhill, an English painter of historical subjects, was responsible for publishing the atlas. Thornhill was known for his grandiose style and was notably commissioned to decorate several prominent buildings, including the dome of St Paul's Cathedral in London. His involvement in the publication of "Atlas Coelestis" underscores the collaborative nature of science and art during the Enlightenment.

"Constellation of Aries, Plate 4 from Atlas Coelestis" stands as a testament to the early 18th-century pursuit of knowledge and the intersection of observational astronomy with the rich tradition of celestial cartography. It remains an important historical artifact, reflecting the advancements in astronomical measurement and the enduring human fascination with the night sky.
