About the piece
Created in 1636 by Flemish master Cornelis Schut, this grand Baroque allegory celebrates the study of Astrology. A winged muse wearing a crown of stars rests her hand upon a celestial globe, while a figure in classical armor gazes upward amidst a sky filled with mythological motifs like Apollo's sun chariot.
