EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Female Form with Astrological Symbols" from 1790, an exquisite illustration found in Culpepers Complete Physician and Complete Herbal. Created by the renowned British artist Sir Godfrey Kneller, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of astrology during the 18th century. In vibrant color, this piece represents a significant era in both science and art. The female figure is depicted gracefully adorned with astrological symbols, symbolizing the connection between celestial bodies and human existence. This artwork serves as a testament to the fascination that people held for astrology during this time. Sir Godfrey Kneller's expertise shines through his meticulous attention to detail, capturing every curve and contour of the woman's body with great skill. Though she stands naked before us, her nudity is not meant to be provocative but rather symbolic of purity and vulnerability. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported back to 18th-century England—a country known for its rich cultural heritage. It reminds us of a time when art was used as a medium to explore scientific concepts such as astrology. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance of Sir Godfrey Kneller's work. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these images continue to captivate our imagination and offer glimpses into our shared past.
