Peter Apian’s Astronomicum Caesareum was published in 1540. The product of 8 years of work, it is a complex book with many interactive wheel diagrams, also known as volvelles or Apian wheels, that allowed the user to calculate the positions of the planets as they moved around the central earth. The book, published only three years before Nicolaus Copernicus’ treatise that positioned the sun at the centre of the universe, draws on a millenia of scientific knowledge and represents the pinnacle of sixteenth century print making.

Join exhibition curators Martin Gayford, Martin Kemp and Jane Munro for an introduction to Hockney's Eye, an exhibition exploring David Hockney’s interactions with artists of the past and with technologies of viewing, both past and present.

One of the most influential artists of our time, David Hockney (b.1937) takes over Cambridge this spring and summer with an exhibition across The Fitzwilliam Museum and The Heong Gallery, Downing College.

Through both traditional and cutting-edge ways of making art, the exhibition explores Hockney’s obsession with how we see the world, and how our world of time and space can be captured on the surface of a flat picture.
