EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent representation of the Sun God, Helios or Sol. The woodcut, dating back to 1482 in Venice, Italy, is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of that era. The image depicts Helios or Sol as a powerful deity riding his chariot across the sky. With his charioteer guiding him forward, he illuminates the world with his radiant presence. This portrayal beautifully captures the essence of ancient Greco-Roman mythology and its deep connection to astronomy. In this artwork, we witness not only the personification of Helios but also an allegory for our understanding of celestial bodies and their influence on our lives. The intricate details within this woodcut highlight every aspect: from the majestic horses pulling the chariot to each individual star adorning the night sky. Gaius Julius Hyginus' Poeticon Astronomicon serves as a source for this remarkable illustration, further emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to an era where myth and science intertwined seamlessly. Whether you appreciate it for its artistic value or find fascination in ancient civilizations' beliefs about celestial beings like Helios or Sol, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about our rich cultural heritage.
