Today Saturn will be

Today Saturn will be well placed for observation, lying opposite the Sun in the sky with the Earth in the middle. In Barcelona it will be visible ‪between 22:24 and 05:27‬. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Saturn was, the dethroned god of melancholia, patron of the artists. In medieval philosophy each individual was thought to be dominated by one of the four humors; melancholy, associated with glack gall, was the least desirable of the four, and melancholics were considered the most likely to succumb to insanity. Renaissance thought, however, also linked melancholy with creative genius; thus, at the same time that this idea changed the status of this humor, it made the self-conscious artist aware that his gift came with terrible risks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Drawing: 'Melencolia I', 1514, by Albrecht Dürer ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #loopbarcelona #videoart #artistfilm #outerspace #saturn #albrechtdurer #melancholia #space #art #melencolia
