This page contains links to works of art and music featured in my causerie on astronomy in art. The first version of this presentation dates back to 2003, but since then, I have modified it several times. The compilation below, dated September 25, 2013, has music added to the mix. Besides examples of art and music inspired by astronomy, the complete presentation includes astronomical images and scientific background not contained in this post.

Acknowledgments<\/em> \u2013 Fred Kaufman<\/em> encouraged me to resurrect the presentation and add music after it had been dormant for nearly six years. Micheline Heyse<\/em> suggested many of the musical pieces. A conversation over dinner and wine (both superb) at the Marc ‘t Kint<\/em>\u00a0home (Christmas 2012) evoked fond memories of operatic performances the three of us attended at a time of our lives long past. Richard Standifer<\/em>‘s creative suggestions and ideas about the art of presenting in public were invaluable. I am grateful to all.<\/p>\n Supernova of 1054 A.D. depicted by the Anasazi in Chaco Valley<\/p>\n This page contains links to works of art and music featured in my causerie on astronomy in art.
