EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, published in 1574, depicts the enigmatic figure of Paracelsus (1493-1541), a renowned alchemist, chemist, and physician of the 16th century. The portrait, created by an unknown artist, is a testament to the enduring fascination with Paracelsus and his groundbreaking contributions to various fields. Born as Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim in Flanders, Paracelsus is known for his unconventional approaches to medicine and alchemy. He challenged the established medical theories of his time and advocated for a holistic understanding of health and well-being. The portrait, titled "Paracelsus," is an etching with engraving on cream laid paper. It shows Paracelsus in head and shoulders format, dressed in the attire of a scholar, with a serious expression on his face. The Latin text inscribed at the bottom of the print reads "Paracelsus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim," further emphasizing the significance of this historical figure. This artwork is a valuable addition to any art collection, art centre, or art gallery, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the 16th century. The intricate lettering and the contrast between the black ink and the cream-colored paper add to the overall aesthetic appeal of the print. The portrait is a must-have for those interested in the history of medicine, alchemy, or the cultural and artistic developments of the 16th century.
