EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Nostradamus writing his prophecies" transports us back to the 16th century. The renowned French astrologer and doctor, Michel de Nostre-Dame, is depicted seated at a desk, engrossed in penning his celebrated book of predictions and prophecies, Les Propheties. With a quill pen in hand and a look of intense concentration on his face, Nostradamus delves into the mysteries of the future. The artist Jean SauvA© skillfully captures the essence of this enigmatic figure who captivated both royalty and commoners alike with his foresight. Summoned to the French Court by Queen Catherine de Medicis herself, Nostradamus became an esteemed advisor to King Charles IX as well as an influential figure in Renaissance France. His prophetic work continues to intrigue us centuries later. This print not only serves as a historical record but also offers a glimpse into Nostradamus' world - one filled with celestial charts, astrology tools like astrolabes, and profound insights about what lies ahead. As we gaze upon this portrait of Nostradamus immersed in deep contemplation, we are reminded that even amidst uncertainty and chaos, there have always been those who seek answers from beyond our realm. Whether you believe in prophecy or not, this image invites us to ponder the mysteries that lie just beyond our grasp – reminding us that curiosity about what tomorrow holds is
