EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century color engraving, we are transported back to the vibrant city of Prague during the 16th century. The image showcases Johannes Kepler, a renowned German astronomer and astrologer, as he casts the horoscope of Emperor Rudolf II. Kepler, positioned on the left side of the print, exudes an air of wisdom and expertise as he carefully studies celestial charts and maps. His presence is commanding yet respectful in front of the powerful ruler. Emperor Rudolf II sits attentively across from Kepler, his regal figure adorned with luxurious garments befitting his status as Holy Roman Emperor. This historic moment captures not only a meeting between two influential figures but also represents a pivotal time in history - the Scientific Revolution. Kepler's groundbreaking work in astronomy would revolutionize our understanding of planetary motion and lay down foundations for future scientific discoveries. The intricate details within this engraving transport us to a bygone era where science intertwined with astrology and mysticism. The celestial globe placed prominently on a table symbolizes humanity's quest for knowledge about our place in the universe. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of Kepler's significant contributions to both science and astrology while being immersed in an atmosphere that encapsulates Renaissance-era Prague - a melting pot where art, culture, science, and power converged under one roof.
