La danza cosmica

This extraordinary treasure trove of artwork is the perfect guide to deeper contemplation of the world around us. A visual journey from the microscopic to the infinite, exploring the relationships and harmonies between the parts of the universe and inspiring personal reflection regarding our place within the world.

In this volume, renowned social media art curator Stephen Ellcock presents a collection of remarkable, striking images drawn from the entire history of art to explore the ancient belief that the cosmos is reflected in all living things. Organized thematically, the visual journey begins with the microscopic, the particular and the elemental, then explores the human body as a miniature cosmos, the beauty of proportion and our quest for spiritual enlightenment, before finally reaching the colossal, the celestial and the infinite.

An eloquent introduction provides an overview of the central themes, and expert commentaries introduce each section. Detailed captions accompanying the images provide nutshell information on key concepts, while quotes and poems, scattered among the artworks, inspire closer and more personal reflection on the images.
