EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, Emblem 24 from "Atalanta fugiens" by Michael Maier in 1618, tells a mysterious and intriguing story. The image depicts the wolf eating the king, symbolizing destruction and chaos. However, what is truly fascinating is how the king's life is being burned back into him. This powerful allegory of alchemy and transformation speaks to the cyclical nature of life and death.
Created by Matthäus Merian, the Elder, this engraving showcases his skill in capturing complex ideas through intricate details and symbolism. The combination of astrology, cabalism, mythology, and occultism creates a rich tapestry of meaning that invites viewers to delve deeper into its mysteries.
The fine artistry of this piece is evident in the meticulous craftsmanship of each line and shading. The illuminated manuscript style adds an air of antiquity and mystique to the scene.
As we gaze upon this print in awe, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to convey profound truths about human existence. It serves as a reminder that even in times of darkness and despair, there is always potential for rebirth and renewal.
