Notater om himmellegemers konstellationer og mulige indvirkning på klimaforhold 1913 - 1914

This is a page of notes by J.A. Jerichau (II), made sometime before 1916, that seems to contemplate celestial bodies and their impact on climate. The pale grey ink on the creamy, aged paper gives this page a ghostly presence, like a faint echo from the past. The handwriting, almost faded in places, is a beautiful, frantic dance across the page, each word a delicate gesture. You can almost feel Jerichau's hand moving, caught up in a flurry of ideas. Look at the loops and curves of the letters – they remind me of constellations themselves, scattered across a night sky. I imagine Jerichau hunched over this page, lost in thought, trying to capture the immensity of the cosmos with just a few strokes of his pen. It makes me think of Hilma af Klint, who also explored spiritual and scientific ideas in her work. Both artists remind us that art is a way of making sense of the world, even when the world seems incomprehensible.
