The print titled "THE ASTROLOGER" is a steel engraving created in 1877, based on an original work by J. Lucas, a notable artist whose works often capture scholarly and intellectual themes. The engraving was executed by J. Demannez, who skillfully translated the intricate details and scholarly atmosphere of Lucas's original painting into this print. The image depicts an astrologer, dressed in period attire, seated in a study filled with books, a globe, and various astronomical instruments, including a telescope. The astrologer is intently examining a large, detailed chart, likely a star map or horoscope, while holding a quill, suggesting he is in the process of making annotations or calculations. The scene is rich with elements that evoke a sense of intellectual curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge, characteristic of the Renaissance or Enlightenment periods. The engraving is meticulously crafted to highlight the textures of the astrologer's clothing, the parchment, and the surrounding objects, creating a vivid and immersive portrayal of a scholarly environment. The print includes the inscriptions "J. LUCAS, PINXT" and "J. DEMANNEZ, SCULPT," acknowledging the original artist and the engraver, respectively. The approximate image size is 10 x 7 inches, with the overall size including the border being slightly larger. This engraving is a fine example of 19th-century art that celebrates academic and intellectual pursuits. CONDITION: FULL PAGE STEEL ENGRAVING. BLANK ON THE BACK. HEAVY CARD STOCK PAPER OF THE AGE.
