John Russell Moon Artist

As a result of his detailed studies of the moon this artist was the first to appear in my search for artists that worked with the moon in their art. He is not a contemporary artist but his body of work is definitely influential and deserves to be included in my Artist Research and Development studies document.

This is his Moon Globe.

Russell’s Selenographia was one of the most detailed maps of the moon available at the time. By recreating what he saw through a telescope, he was able to make the details of the moon visible to more people. Only a few of them were ever produced, but one of them is also on display at the National Maritime Museum.
