EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment of "The Eclipse of the Sun on 18 July in Spain". Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving showcases a rare celestial event that occurred over Santander Bay. The image was originally published in The Illustrated London News on 4 August 1860. Intriguingly, Mr. Thompson, armed with his inverting telescope, witnessed the enchanting sight as the moon passed between Earth and the sun. As darkness descended upon Spain, a luminous corona enveloped our star, creating a breathtaking spectacle for all who were fortunate enough to witness it. The intricate details captured within this print showcase Bailys beads shimmering around the edges of the obscured sun. These radiant points of light occur when sunlight shines through valleys and mountains on the moon's surface during an eclipse. "The Eclipse of the Sun on 18 July in Spain" serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with space and our constant quest to understand its mysteries. This historic event not only mesmerized those present but also left an indelible mark on European history. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are transported back to that fateful day when nature unveiled one of its most extraordinary phenomena—a celestial dance between Earth, Moon, and Sun—captured forever by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection.
