Surreal humorous art, magical realism. Medieval astronomical observatory, a large open room with a parapet, no wall, with an arched ceiling. The room offers a fantastic view of the night sky and the Summer Hills of northern Italy. There is not a cloud in the sky, only myriads of stars and a full Moon. On the right side of the room there is a wide low table on which lies a pile of star charts, drawing supplies, richly decorated books, an astrolabe, and a model of the celestial sphere. Near the parapet there is a carved Venetian chair, next to the chair a bulky brass five-foot Gregorian telescope on a wooden stand. On the Venetian chair sits leaning back and crossing his legs a six-foot frog-astronomer in a warm professorial robe. The frog-astronomer looks through the telescope at the Moon and records observations with a goose quill in an old notebook. A little white rabbit sits on the moon, happily waving to the frog astronomer. The atmosphere is calm, focused and full of joy from making new discoveries. Great composition, muted colors, chiaroscuro, ultra detail, crisp quality, a masterpiece.
