Description
Introducing ‘Celestial Maps’ collection by Serge Averbukh, showcasing new media reproductions of various historical and modern masterpieces of celestial cartography. Here you will find pieces featuring Celestial Luxury Gold Edition - Andreas Cellarius Chart of the Night’s Sky with Canstellations - Coeli Stellati Christiani Haemisphaerium Posterius, circa 1660.
Andreas Cellarius (active from 1656-1702), Dutch mathematician and geographer, rector of the Latin School at Hoorn. He may have been of German or Polish origin, with the name of Keller or Kellner. Cellarius adopted the system of Julius Schiller who renamed all constellations known at that time and sketched them again in order to fit the sky into a system of Christian symbolism. In Cellarius' Atlas Coelestis Schiller's system has been elaborated further. In fact, Schiller became more widely known by Cellarius' atlas than by his own work.
Andreas Cellarius’ novel chart of the night’s sky, published in 1660, has the constellations superimposed on an outline map of the earth. This view of the “back” of the celestial shell leaves the viewer with the impression of star gazing from heaven. The chart’s practical use was limited since the stars were a mirror image to what is seen from Earth.
