Aquarius constellation
1880 - 1946
Step into the stylized world of Art Deco with this striking illustration of Aquarius, the water-bearer. A muscular figure stands poised against a dark, starry sky, pouring an endless stream from a large, checkered vessel into the waves below. The constellation itself twinkles in the background, as if guiding the flow. Henri van der Stok uses bold black and white contrasts to create a dramatic, almost mythological atmosphere, capturing the elegant geometry popular in the early 20th century. It's a beautiful reminder of how ancient zodiac symbols were reimagined with modern flair.
