EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate symbols of the synthesis of the Great Work, dating back to 1678. The image depicts four sides representing the four elements, while three serpents symbolize tria prima - sulphur, salt, and mercury. Two circles are present to represent masculine and feminine properties within alchemy. Of particular significance is the large circle attached to a tube known as the Hermetic Vase. The photograph originates from Tripus Aureus by Michael Maier, which is a Latin translation of Basil Valentine's legendary 15th-century book on the Philosophers Stone. It represents the seventh key in the alchemical process and offers insight into German monk Basil Valentine's profound knowledge in this field. The monochrome engraving transports us back to Frankfurt in 1678 when this masterpiece was created. Its historical value lies not only in its depiction of alchemical symbolism but also in its representation of Germany during that time period. This remarkable print captures an essence that transcends time, allowing us to delve into centuries-old wisdom and explore humanity's fascination with science, transformation, and spiritual enlightenment through alchemy.
