Description
| The 16th to 19th centuries were the golden age of star maps. How did the great astronomers, philosophers, artists, and cartographers of the past map the universe and constellations? This is a visual book to enjoy looking at the fusion of romantic fantasy, mythology, art and science. Since ancient times, human beings have been observing, studying, and expressing the night sky in an attempt to unravel the secrets of the universe. Marveling at the stars in the sky, we have attempted scientific explanations and continued to depict the sky while using elements of mythology. From the 16th century onward, star charts produced a series of supreme masterpieces, until advances in telescope technology in the 19th century made modern star chart production possible, and beautiful, rare, early star charts combined art and scientific knowledge. This book introduces not only the precious star charts drawn during the [Golden Age] of the 16th to 19th centuries, but also how the astronomers and artists who drew them interpreted extraterrestrial phenomena at the time, and their lives devoted to the study of the universe. The book also includes famous star charts that have influenced mythology and epic poetry, and is useful not only for fans of constellations, mythology, astrology, and astronomy, but also for free research and the creation of various stories and characters.
