Painting Description
"Constellation of Monoceros with Canis Major and Minor, plate 13 from Atlas Coelestis, is a significant astronomical work by English astronomer John Flamsteed (1646-1710). Published posthumously in 1729 by Sir James Thornhill, the plate is part of Flamsteed's larger work, Atlas Coelestis, which is considered a seminal contribution to 18th-century astronomy. The plate depicts the constellation of Monoceros (the Unicorn), along with Canis Major and Minor (the Greater and Lesser Dog), as they were understood in Flamsteed's time. The work is noted for its detailed and accurate representation of the stars and constellations, reflecting Flamsteed's meticulous observations and measurements. As the first Astronomer Royal, Flamsteed's work laid the foundation for modern celestial cartography and significantly advanced the scientific understanding of the night sky. This particular plate, like others in the Atlas, is not only a scientific document but also a work of art, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of the period and the intricate craftsmanship involved in its creation."
