Kaart van de aarde met de verschillende standen van de maan en de zon 1708

This 1708 print by Johannes van Loon illustrates the different phases of the moon. Depicting the moon in its various stages, from crescent to full, the artwork uses a celestial map design with Latin inscriptions to describe the moon's position in relation to the sun. The artwork is a testament to the scientific curiosity of the 17th century and its fascination with the heavens. It combines elements of astronomy and cartography, providing a visually compelling representation of the lunar cycle. This print is a valuable historical artifact that reveals the artistic and scientific approaches to understanding the cosmos during this era.
