EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Planetary and zodiacal diagram of the left hand" transports us back to 17th century France. Created by Jean Belot in 1649, this intricate piece is part of his collection "Oeuvres Diverses". The print showcases the ancient art of chiromancy or palmistry. The image depicts a detailed diagram of a left hand, with each finger and palm section marked with various astrological symbols. It serves as a guide for interpreting the position of zodiac signs within the hand. This unique blend of astrology and anatomy offers insight into how our destinies may be written in the lines on our palms. Belot's work was highly regarded during his time as he was not only a renowned cure de Mil-Monts but also a professor of divine and celestial sciences. His expertise shines through in this woodcut, which beautifully captures both scientific precision and artistic finesse. The addition of later coloration adds vibrancy to an already visually striking composition. The warm hues bring life to the intricate details etched onto the paper, making it even more captivating for viewers today. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are reminded that centuries ago people sought answers about their lives through various means - including studying their own hands. This print stands as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with unlocking the mysteries hidden within ourselves and our connection to celestial forces beyond our control.
