EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the 17th century, where philosophy, religion, and science intertwined in a quest for understanding the universe. Created by Robert Fludd, this engraving beautifully captures his interpretation of Hermetic and Cabalistic teachings. At first glance, we are drawn to the intricate structure of a triangle at the center of the image. Within its boundaries lies an organized cosmos where every element finds its place. This concept reflects Fludd's belief in divine order and reveals his deep connection with Christian theology. As our eyes wander through this monochrome masterpiece, we notice God reigning supreme at the apex of the triangle. His presence symbolizes both power and transcendence over all creation. Surrounding Him are various celestial bodies representing different aspects of divinity. Fludd's print invites contemplation on two levels: microcosm and macrososm. The microcosm refers to humanity as a reflection or miniature version of God's grand design while macrocosm encompasses everything beyond human existence - stars, planets, galaxies - forming an interconnected whole. Through this artwork, Fludd encourages us to ponder our place within this vast cosmic tapestry. It reminds us that there is beauty in both unity and diversity; each component plays an essential role in maintaining balance within creation. "The divine harmony of the microcosm and macrososm" serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst life's complexities
