The Harmonia Macrocosmica, published by Johannes Janssonius in Amsterdam in 1660, stands among the great achievements of the Dutch Golden Age of cartography. Its author, Andreas Cellarius, was a schoolmaster rather than a professional astronomer, yet he assembled 29 sweeping double-folio plates charting the heavens according to the Ptolemaic, Copernican, and Tychonic models then competing for acceptance. Each plate is bordered with richly detailed engravings of cherubs, astronomers, and the instruments of their trade, making the atlas as much a work of decorative art as of science.

My husband spotted this months ago and I finally gave in. I have been hunting for a good version of Cellarius Celestial Chart for two years.
I have bought a lot of art online and this is the first time it looked exactly like the listing. Everything that makes Cellarius Celestial Chart special survived the reproduction. The materials are noticeably better than the last two things I ordered online. The reproduction quality makes the price look like a mistake in my favor.
It made the den feel finished in a way I could not manage on my own.
I bought this as a housewarming gift and kept it a day before wrapping it. My friends recognized Cellarius Celestial Chart right away, which surprised me.
This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. The detail in Cellarius Celestial Chart holds up with my face inches away. It has not faded at all in a room that gets brutal afternoon light. Perfect from start to finish.
