This anonymous 17th-century print, titled "Hemelkaart van de baan van de zon rond de aarde, volgens Ptolemaeus," depicts a geocentric model of the universe as described by Ptolemy, with the Earth at the center and the Sun orbiting around it. The artwork is a detailed and intricate diagram showing the paths of the Sun and other celestial bodies, as well as the various circles and lines that were used to explain their movements. This print offers a glimpse into the scientific understanding of the cosmos during a time when the heliocentric model of the universe was not yet widely accepted.
