About the Item

Title: 1730 Southern Hemisphere Celestial Chart with Zodiac Signs and Decorative Putti Description: This stunning 1730 celestial map, "Hemisphaerium Coeli Australe," showcases the Southern Hemisphere's constellations in remarkable detail and artistic splendor. Centered on the equatorial pole, it highlights the positions of major stars in yellow and features beautifully shaded constellations (*en grisaille*), labeled with their Latin names. Among the constellations are zodiac signs like Aquarius, Capricorn, Libra, Sagittarius, and Virgo, as well as Canis Major, Hydra, Lepus, Argo Navis, and Pavo. Framed by declination tables for scientific reference, the map is further adorned with allegorical scenes featuring putti, adding a decorative flair to its scientific purpose. This celestial chart is a prime example of 18th-century Enlightenment craftsmanship, blending rigorous astronomical research with artistic creativity. The engraving technique used ensures intricate detailing, while original hand-coloring brings the constellations and decorative elements to life. This map is more than a representation of the stars; it reflects the Enlightenment's spirit of combining art, science, and exploration. It would later become part of Doppelmayr’s famous Atlas Coelestis, a monumental celestial atlas. Condition: The map is in very good condition with vibrant original hand-coloring, clean margins, and no significant flaws. A beautifully preserved example. Matting and Framing Tips: Use acid-free matting and UV-protective glass to preserve the map’s colors and paper. Pair it with a neutral or gold-accented mat and a classic wooden or gilded frame to complement its historical significance. Ensure proper spacing between the glass and the map to prevent damage, and display it in a controlled environment, away from direct sunlight or humidity, to maintain its pristine condition.
