This Alchemical Bride series celebrates amazing women who rose above the restrictions of their time. This is named after the celebrated astronomer of antiquity, Aglaonice. Women in ancient Greece had no legal personhood, and yet this extraordinary scientist could accurately predict lunar eclipses. One of the craters on Venus is named after Aglaonice. Painted in my signature Cubism 3.0 style, which blends Analytic and Synthetic Cubism with Feminist histories and a touch of Pop. Stretched and signed on back.
