This print titled "Phases de la Lune (no. 4), from Tableaux du Systeme Planetaire" takes us back to the enchanting world of astronomy in the early 19th century. Created by Italian artist Sigismond Visconti and engraved by French astronomer Auguste-Henri Dufour, this stipple engraving showcases the different phases of Earth's celestial companion, the Moon. Measuring at an impressive 51x49 cm, this artwork beautifully captures the lunar cycle with intricate details and precision. From a waning crescent to a full moon and then to a waxing crescent, each phase is depicted with meticulous accuracy. The moon appears suspended against a dark background, highlighting its ethereal glow as it traverses through its monthly transformation.
