The Story Behind the Print
This print reproduces Corporum Coelestium Magnitudines, Andreas Cellarius's 1660 chart of the comparative magnitudes of celestial bodies. The engraved plate keeps its diagram, Latin lettering, ornamental figures and delicate hand-colored detail.
Nested circles in graduated colour, from a small teal disc at the foot through pink, grey, olive and ochre, each carry lines of Latin text about size and magnitude. Cherubs and clouds flank the circles, and the title is set in cartouches at the upper corners.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using fade-resistant giclée printing with archival inks, preserving the detail and character of the original for generations.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
