This beautiful print is taken from an extremely rare book of watercolors known as the 'Kometenbuch', or " Comet Book", that was produced in Flanders or NE France in 1587. Only two editions are known to exist and the author and illustrator are unknown.
The paintings depict the appearances and mythologies of comets throughout history up until the Middle Ages, detailing comet events that were said to trigger wars and fires and other societal shifts.
The prints reproduce the originals in amazing accuracy and are printed on the highest quality Archival Watercolor Paper. These are truly rare and remarkable works of art that would seem to have inspired later generations of artists such as Turner and Blake.

/ / / / ABOUT MY PRINTS / / / /
My shop features my original art and designs as well as restored Antiquarian prints and ephemera that I've collected over the years. I spend a great deal of time restoring my antique prints and redesigning them to work as wall art, giving them new life with rich colors, fine linework, crisp detail, and a range of wall art sizes. While I do clean up any flaws in the original prints, I also retain the antique qualities of the original prints such as aged paper marks and any other details that see important to its authenticity.
/ / / / PRINT QUALITY / / / /
As an artist and designer, quality is very important to me and through much experimentation I've developed a process and set of materials that create the highest quality Giclée prints you'll find anywhere. They are printed with archival inks (rated up to 200 years) on Archival 100% cotton (no trees!) heavy-weight Fine Art Paper that has a slight texture similar to watercolor paper which gives the prints a beautiful velvet-like matte finish. These are fine art Giclée prints - not posters!
