looking for a painting

This was a popular print in the 70's and 80's..young man on his knee, normal planetary reality behind him, he on the left, looking though the edge to another reality..an night of stars. Used to be used in conjunction with astrology. Any memory of this?

I think what you are referring to is a classic woodcut that was used on the cover of The Discoverers. I'll go dig up my copy and get the reference...

Hopefully this is it...

by Camille Flammarion, based on a 16th-century woodcut by an unknown artist.

Dear John..just checked Art Conversation..YES..that is the painting. Thank you so much. You say unknown artist, so who is Camille Flammarion? Sorry, for the delay. I am new and somehow thought I would get an e-mail. Many thanks. Lesanne

Hi all,

I am desperately trying to find a print of a painting that my nan owed before she passed away. I was so fascinated as a child by the picture that ive been trying to find it. unfortunatley the painting dissapeared when my nan passed away.
It was a large painting of a huge swan and its wings curved underneath. Standing on underside of the left wing was a man and on the right wing, a woman. I was told it was Adam and Eve, but im not sure.

Please can anyone help?

I'm desperately trying to find a painting that has 2 books facing each other. Each book has a cover with #1 on it indicating that it "thinks" it's #1. Thank you. That's all I have to go on with. I believe it might be a canvas painting
