Astronomia is a 1651 oil by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Groeningemuseum.
This painting shows a woman in a blue robe with white trim, holding a staff in her right hand and a sword in her left. She wears a white shirt with a gold sun and moon on it. Behind her are stars and a halo. The woman's face is tilted upwards, and she looks to her right. The woman's clothing and the objects she holds suggest she may be a saint or a figure from mythology. The painting's style and the use of oil paint also give clues about its age and the artist's techniques.
