EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L observation des etoiles - in 'Astronomical tables of the sun, moon, planets, fixed stars and satellites of Jupiter and Saturn' by Cassini" takes us back to 18th-century Paris. The unknown artist beautifully captures the essence of a night filled with wonder and knowledge. In this engraving, we find ourselves in an observatory where astronomers diligently study the stars. The scene is illuminated by candlelight as they meticulously record their observations on astronomical bezels. Their dedication to unraveling the mysteries of the universe is palpable. The image transports us to a time when astronomy was at its peak, with Cassini's work being highly regarded during that era. This particular piece showcases his renowned publication from 1740 which contained detailed astronomical tables for celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, planets, fixed stars, and even satellites of Jupiter and Saturn. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures every intricate detail in this photograph. From the delicate engravings on the pages to the focused expressions on each astronomer's face – it truly brings history to life. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from our private collection today, we are reminded of humanity's eternal fascination with space exploration and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our place in the cosmos.
