EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Greek astronomer Nicees Hipparchus in the Alexandria Observatory during the 2nd century BC. The image, based on "La Ciencia y sus Hombres" by Louis Figuier from 1881, transports us back to a time when knowledge and exploration were at their peak. Hipparchus, hailing from Bythinia, was an esteemed figure in the field of astronomy. His contributions revolutionized our understanding of celestial bodies and their movements. In this depiction, we see him immersed in his work within the walls of the Alexandria Observatory, a hub of intellectual pursuit. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every element comes alive through chromolithography chromo technique. From Hipparchus' focused expression to the intricate instruments surrounding him, each aspect adds depth and authenticity to this historical scene. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Africa's rich heritage and its significant role in fostering scientific advancements. This artwork not only celebrates Hipparchus' brilliance but also pays homage to African knowledge and wisdom that has shaped our world throughout history. Now preserved in a private collection, this masterpiece by Stefano Bianchetti allows us to appreciate ancient astronomers like Hipparchus who paved the way for modern-day stargazers. It serves as a reminder that curiosity knows no bounds and that exploration is key to unraveling life's mysteries – both here on Earth and beyond our atmosphere.
