EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, Emblem 38 from "Atalanta fugiens" by Michael Maier in 1816, depicts the fascinating concept of the Rebis - a hermaphrodite born from two mountains, Mercurius and Venus. Created by Matthäus Merian the Elder, this intricate engraving is rich with symbolism and allegory.
The image showcases the merging of masculine and feminine energies, represented by the celestial bodies of Mercury and Venus. The Rebis symbolizes unity and balance, embodying both male and female qualities in perfect harmony. This powerful imagery speaks to the alchemical belief in achieving wholeness through integration of opposites.
Merian's detailed craftsmanship brings this mystical concept to life with stunning precision. The fine lines and intricate patterns draw viewers into a world where science meets spirituality, where mythology intertwines with history.
As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of the profound wisdom embedded within alchemical teachings. The Rebis serves as a potent reminder that true transformation comes from embracing all aspects of ourselves - light and shadow, masculine and feminine.
This print is not just a work of art; it is a gateway to deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe. It invites us to explore the mysteries of alchemy and unlock hidden truths waiting to be discovered within us.
