Pieter Brueghel the Elder (1525-1569) An Alchemist at work, mid 16th cent
Alchemist's Laboratory (Khunrath)
Alchemist's Laboratory IN: 'Amphitheatrum Sapientiae Aeternae' by Heinrich Khunrath, 1595.
[A]n alchemical classic, the best known of Heinrich Khunrath's works. The work is infused with a strange combination of Christianity and magic, illustrated with elaborate, hand-colored, engraved plates heightened with gold and silver. The tension between spirituality and experiment, and the rich symbolism of Khunrath's writings and their engravings brought condemnation of the book by the Sorbonne in 1625, and now attracts attention from scholars."

In vague and basic terms: as the lion transforms the serpent into its own flesh when he devours it, so the philosopher's stone has the power to transmute or transform all imperfect metals into gold; but pure gold is required as one of the ingredients. Ahh, but how does one create the philosopher's stone? That is the eternal question..

Сказочно.
Вот тоже удивительно мне всегда было - ведь тут графика, она для точности линий, для всех этих железочек и схем и всего такого....Но ведь они и здесь умудрились изобразить точность эмоций и чувств - вон с какой страстью он золото пытается сделать!!!!! И - глаза у всех какие сумасшедшие!!!!!
Потрясающе.

Date: 2009-06-10 05:03 pm (UTC)Кстати, примерно в 4 часах езды от Москвы, в Рязанской области, будучи в командировке, случайно нашла дом, где жил последний русский гравер - Иван Пожалостин.
Это в селе Солодча Рязанской обл.
Дом этот в качестве дачи снимал потом Паустовский и вел себя там нехорошо и пару раз запаливал его по пьяни. Хорошо, не все спалил и там догадались музей гравюры открыть.
Маленький, но душевный.
Будет путь - рекомендую.
