EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "The Sun, the Earth and the Movements of the Moon - in 'The Underground World'" by Athanasius Kircheri, dating back to the 17th century. The artwork is a testament to Kircher's profound knowledge and fascination with astronomy. In this intricate piece, Kircher beautifully depicts the heliocentric nature of our solar system. The sun takes center stage as it radiates its powerful light onto both Earth and its faithful companion, the moon. The artist meticulously illustrates their interconnected movements, capturing their celestial dance through time. Kircher's attention to detail is particularly evident in his portrayal of lunar eclipses. He skillfully captures these awe-inspiring moments when Earth casts its shadow upon the moon, creating a mesmerizing spectacle for stargazers throughout history. As we gaze at this remarkable print captured by Leonard de Selva, we are transported back in time to an era where scientific understanding was rapidly evolving. It serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our place in the universe and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. This photograph not only celebrates Kircher's artistic talent but also pays homage to his contribution towards advancing our understanding of astronomy during a pivotal period in human history.
