The seventh Canvas is called “The Astrolabe”, and refers to a measuring device that has been used by men since ancient times. A tool with multiple functions, it allows to measure the height of the stars and to read the time according to the position of the stars or the sun. It is also the oldest navigation instrument. It measures 1.20m x 1m; the background is of green color quite nuanced of some blue and yellow spots and in the center of the picture comes to be evidenced the Astrolabe of gold-bronze color. At the four corners of the canvas, a small circle symbolizing the North, the South, the East and the West.

The chosen Aya is in Surah 2 – verse 164 

                               BISMILLAH RAHMANI RAHIM

 Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason.
