About this work

You’ll see a set of golden rings stacked like a bullseye. In the center sits a white-robed figure with hands raised. The rings glow with faint red and blue lines. This is part of a 50-card set made before 1467. Each card maps the cosmos from the Moon up to God. The design mixes science, faith and art. Want more like this?
