This once again is my interpretation of an astrological image of the Sun, one of several devised in literary form by Giordano Bruno, the great Hermetic philosopher and mage. Like several of my other Hermetic pieces, this one is in watercolor, and is 12 by 12 inches (30 by 30 centimeters). As before, the perspective is in keeping with my design for the projection of an omnidirectional image upon the panels of a geodesic dome. This image corresponds to one of 12 such panels (or 8, depending how you count it).
Also as mentioned before, Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake by the Inquisition for his heretical ideas. The idea that really pushed them over the edge was his declaration that the Sun is a god. I'm hoping that to depict him as a pretty boy is even more heretical. Hail Helios, Sol Invictus, the Unconquerable Sun!
