"The Sun in close-up: its spots, its prominences, its luminous corona. A portrait of our star captured with 19th-century instruments and knowledge."

Context of the work

During the 19th century, the Sun became the focus of all scientific attention: the first spectroscopic observations revealed its composition, and telescopes mapped its sunspots.

The circular composition, centered on the solar disk, and the palette of yellows and oranges make this poster a luminous and calming piece.

How did 19th-century scientists study the Sun?

The first spectroscopic observations revealed the Sun's composition, while increasingly powerful telescopes mapped its spots – this encyclopedic plate illustrates this effort of knowledge.
