Emblematic Art
Emblems of the Planets.
This series of woodcuts were apparently made by an unidentifed artist, cryptically named as 'The Master 4+' He was active in Wittenberg between 1554 and 1580. His line is delicate and subtly formed, giving a detailed image. His series of planets uses the conventions and emblematic ideas about the associations of the planets current at that time, but this has been realised in beautifully crafted images. These have been coloured by Adam McLean.
