EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Luna, 1531" by Sebald Beham takes us back to the enchanting world of the 16th century. The image portrays a male figure standing in a rural landscape, surrounded by elements that symbolize the moon's influence on various aspects of life. Intriguingly, Luna is depicted as a female planet characterized by its moist and cold nature. Those born under its celestial reign were said to possess a love for geometry and related arts, while also exhibiting a phlegmatic temperament. The artist beautifully captures this essence through his monochrome depiction. The scene showcases not only the countryside but also highlights road transport with an ancient chariot traversing alongside a picturesque river. A water mill stands tall in the background, reminding us of the power generation methods prevalent during that era. Furthermore, we catch glimpses of fishermen engaged in their daily routine using fishing nets to capture fish from the flowing waters. This imagery alludes to both science and astrology – emphasizing Luna's connection with water among its elemental influences. Sebald Beham masterfully combines these diverse elements into one cohesive composition that reflects both religious symbolism and geographical features associated with lunar worship. It serves as an intriguing window into how people perceived deities like Luna during this period in history. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into centuries-old beliefs about our solar system while appreciating Beham's artistic prowess in capturing such intricate details within his work.
