Astrologia (Sterrenkunde) after 1565

"Astrologia (Sterrenkunde)" is an engraving by Cornelis Cort, a Dutch artist, from after 1565. The print depicts a winged woman, likely representing Urania, the Muse of Astronomy, pointing to a celestial sphere, and an old man, possibly representing Time, holding the sphere with his hands. The scene symbolizes the study of astronomy, with the globe representing the universe, the instruments scattered around symbolizing measurement, and the winged figure symbolizing inspiration and insight. Cort's skillful use of line and detail creates a beautiful and detailed depiction of this important scientific pursuit.
