The Theory of the Sun's Motion - Star Map Mural
Create a spectacular accent wall in your home or business with The Theory of the Sun's Motion mural.
Step into the brilliance of early astronomical discovery with The Theory of the Sun’s Motion, a mural drawn from Andreas Cellarius’ Atlas Coelestis. Its original 17th-century plate, titled Theoria Solis Per Eccentricum Sine Epicyclo, captures the Sun’s path through the sky with remarkable precision, showing the eccentric motion without the use of an epicycle.
Every line and curve reflects the meticulous calculations of the era, combining scientific observation with baroque artistry to create a celestial tableau that is both informative and visually captivating.
This wallpaper mural, brought to Wallsauce through the British Library, transforms historical astronomical theory into a striking feature wall. Imagine it illuminating a study, commanding attention in a library, or inspiring contemplation in a bedroom — a blend of intellectual charm and visual grandeur.
More than decoration, The Theory of the Sun’s Motion invites curiosity and reflection, allowing viewers to engage with centuries of astronomical thought. Request a sample to explore its intricate details, choose your preferred wallpaper finish, and provide your wall measurements for a made-to-order installation by the Wallsauce team.
