At the center of the composition stands a magnificent fountain, symbolizing life itself. Its waters flow endlessly, representing eternal youth and vitality. Surrounding the fountain are various celestial elements such as stars and moons, signifying cosmic forces at play. A sunface radiates warmth and light onto the scene, emphasizing enlightenment through knowledge. This woodcut from Rosarium Philosophorum not only serves as an artistic expression but also delves into occult practices prevalent during that era.
