Baan van de Zon rond het centrum van de Aarde 1706

This 1706 engraving by Sébastien Leclerc I, titled "Baan van de Zon rond het centrum van de Aarde" (The Path of the Sun around the Center of the Earth), illustrates a scientific concept. The work features a geometric diagram, which is the dominant visual element, demonstrating the path of the sun. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the intersection of art and scientific study in the 18th century. Its delicate lines and precise measurements speak to the era's fascination with rational understanding of the natural world.
