EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and enigmatic world of alchemy through a 1558 engraving by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The first state three-sheet artwork, skillfully captured by Artokoloro, transports us back to a time when alchemists sought to unlock the secrets of transformation and transmutation. The irregular cut and plate line add an authentic touch to this remarkable piece, measuring 13 3/16 x 17 11/16 inches (335 x 449 cm). As we gaze upon it, we are drawn into a mesmerizing scene depicting the bustling activity within an alchemist's workshop. Bruegel's attention to detail is evident in every element of this print. From the meticulously rendered tools and apparatuses used for experimentation to the intense expressions on the faces of these mysterious figures, each aspect invites us to delve deeper into their quest for knowledge. Originally hailing from Breda but later settling in Brussels, Bruegel was renowned for his Netherlandish artistry that seamlessly blended realism with imagination. This particular engraving was expertly executed by Philips Galle from Haarlem under Bruegel's guidance. As we admire this extraordinary piece from Liszt Collection, let us marvel at how it encapsulates both artistic brilliance and historical significance. It serves as a testament not only to Bruegel's talent but also to our enduring fascination with alchemy—an ancient practice that continues to captivate minds even today.
