"A moon with a human face reigns supreme at the center of a luxuriant Baroque composition, surrounded by sundials, astronomical symbols, and golden arabesques."

Context of the work

The Sciathericum is an instrument for measuring time by shadow, an ancestor of the sundial. This 17th-18th century Baroque engraving illustrates its theory and use in an ornate style typical of the era.

The central moon, both celestial body and face, reminds us that for scholars of the time, astronomy and symbolism naturally intertwined.

Beautiful images deserve beautiful paper

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. Colors keep their depth, as on the page of a book.

It is FSC certified, so it comes from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a piece is not the same as seeing it once. It stays there, you find it again in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
