EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and intriguing piece of history - Aristotle (384-322 BC) and the Philosophers Stone. From a collection of occult texts, this vellum manuscript was created by the French School in the 14th century and is now housed in the Bibliotheque de l'Arsenal in Paris, France. The image captures Aristotle, one of the greatest philosophers of all time, seated with an air of wisdom and contemplation. The illumination surrounding him adds to his enigmatic presence as he delves into the mysteries of alchemy and occult sciences. The Philosophers Stone, believed to possess incredible powers including turning base metals into gold and granting eternal life, takes center stage in this composition. Its symbolism represents not only physical transformation but also spiritual enlightenment. Every detail within this artwork holds significance - from Aristotle's nakedness symbolizing purity to the rays of sunlight illuminating his path towards knowledge. The inclusion of milk further emphasizes nourishment for both body and mind on this mystical journey. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print, we are transported back in time to an era where alchemists sought hidden truths through experimentation and introspection. It serves as a reminder that even ancient wisdom can still captivate our imagination today.
