"De Maan en haar invloed op de wereld" (The Moon and its Influence on the World) is an engraving by Johann Sadeler I, created in 1585. This detailed print depicts a goddess in a chariot drawn by two figures representing the celestial bodies, floating above a city. The goddess, Luna, is depicted holding a bow and arrow, a symbol of her celestial power. The city below is likely a representation of a terrestrial setting, demonstrating the connection between the celestial and the earthly realms. This print is a fascinating example of the celestial imagery popular during the Renaissance, illustrating the enduring influence of astrology and astronomy. The print is currently located in the Rijksmuseum.
