From the 19th to the 20th century, the night sky became not only an object of scientific inquiry but also a wellspring of inspiration for countless artists. During this period, many renowned artists captured and interpreted the grandeur and mystery of the heavens through their unique perspectives. These works often imbued with profound spiritual, philosophical, and aesthetic meanings, offer us an alternative way to explore the universe beyond scientific observation. They invite us to piece together our own understanding of the cosmos, merging the limited views of different individuals into a collective vision of the universe in our hearts.
