"Copernicus" 

"Copernicus" is a watercolor painting by Hungarian artist Maria Bozoky (1917-1996). The artwork depicts a scene of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) observing the stars with his telescope. The painting's use of loose brushstrokes and soft color washes creates a sense of mystery and wonder, mirroring Copernicus' groundbreaking discoveries about the universe. The image of the telescope, the starry night sky, and the presence of a large building evoke themes of scientific exploration, innovation, and the pursuit of knowledge.
