"Astrologia" (Astrology) is a woodcut by Virgil Solis, a German Renaissance artist known for his detailed engravings. The image depicts a female figure representing Astrology, standing amongst clouds and holding a crescent moon. Two cherubs flanking the figure add to the celestial theme. The artwork reflects Solis's mastery in creating intricate details and his interest in the symbolism of ancient knowledge, as seen in the depiction of Astrology. This is a classic example of woodcut printing, a technique that involves carving an image into a wooden block and then applying ink to create multiple copies.
