Saturn
Saturnus, 1589
Crispijn van de Passe (I)
Experience the divine majesty of Saturn, the god personifying the planet of the same name, as he rides his chariot drawn by fierce dragons. Grasped in his hands, a scythe symbolizes his power and authority. Look to the top corners of the piece and discover the zodiac signs Capricorn and Aquarius, representing Saturn's planetary children. On earth below, witness humans born under Saturn's influence engaging in activities characteristic of these signs. The artwork is complete with a Latin poem in the margin, written in four columns, subtly referring to lead - a metal associated with the planet Saturn.
