The Story Behind the Print
This print reproduces Hypothesis Ptolemaica, Andreas Cellarius's 1660 chart of the Ptolemaic hypothesis of planetary motion. The engraved plate keeps its diagram, Latin lettering, ornamental figures and delicate hand-colored detail.
Pale blue circles marked Epicyclus and numbered in Roman numerals are linked by lines across the face of the chart, around a central axis of Latin lettering. A zodiac ring in cream and yellow encloses them, with cherubs, birds and clouds filling the 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.
About the Frame
Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with clear acrylic glazing, dry-mounted artwork, a kraft paper dust cover, and hanging wire. Each piece arrives ready to hang. No mat. Satin Black has a 7/8-inch face and adds 1.25 inches to the total width and height. Slimwood Silver and Slimwood Gold have a 1 1/8-inch face and add 1.75 inches to the total width and height.
The selected size refers to the artwork itself. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.
