EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, Emblem 11 from "Atalanta fugiens" by Michael Maier in 1618, depicts Machet as he discovers the secret of Latona and tears up the books. Created by Matthäus Merian the Elder, this intricate piece combines elements of alchemy, astrology, and literature in a stunning baroque style.
The scene is rich with symbolism, reflecting the mysteries of alchemy and the quest for knowledge. Machet's actions represent a turning point in his journey towards enlightenment, as he uncovers hidden truths that challenge conventional wisdom.
Merian's skillful use of engraving and watercolor brings this allegorical tale to life with exquisite detail. The fine lines and delicate shading create a sense of depth and movement within the composition.
As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when science and mysticism were intertwined. The illuminated manuscript captures the essence of an era marked by curiosity and exploration.
Emblem 11 serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal quest for understanding and discovery. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire wonder and provoke contemplation.
