Beskrivning

This atmospheric hand-colored lithograph by Charles Blunt, titled The Crescent Moon No. 2, captures a serene classical landscape under the soft light of a waxing crescent moon. Depicting an imagined Greco-Roman cityscape with temples, ruins, and a reflective river, the scene emphasizes the poetic harmony between ancient civilization and the celestial sphere. The delicate arc of the moon sits prominently in the twilight sky, symbolizing renewal and the passage of cosmic time.

Charles Blunt was a 19th-century British science educator and illustrator who specialized in popularizing astronomy through visually compelling prints.
