The Story Behind the Print
This print reproduces Theoria Trium Superiorum Planetarum, Andreas Cellarius's 1660 chart of the motions of the three superior planets. The engraved plate keeps its diagram, Latin lettering, ornamental figures and delicate hand-colored detail.
Circles in pink and yellow marked Epicyclus sit around a central axis crossed by lines of Latin lettering, inside a pale olive ring. Grey cloud corners hold cherubs, and the title is lettered at the upper corners on pale pink ground.
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.
