EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Twelfth Key" takes us back to the year 1618, where an alchemist is seen immersed in his laboratory, diligently searching for the legendary philosopher's stone. The engraving, originally published by Michael Maier in 1599 and later featured in Tripus Aureus, beautifully captures the essence of alchemy. Intriguing symbolism fills every corner of this image. The lion devouring a serpent represents the transformative process of turning matter into something entirely new. Underneath the window lies the alchemical symbol for mercury, further alluding to the intricate experiments taking place within these walls. The scene itself is bustling with scientific equipment and tools - from furnaces and tongs to scales and a mysterious box. Potted plants add a touch of nature amidst this world of fire and chemicals. A lone scientist stands at its center, wearing a distinctive hat that signifies his expertise in this arcane field. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that alchemy was not merely about transmuting metals; it was an exploration of knowledge and understanding. It sought to unravel secrets hidden within nature's fabric. This print transports us back centuries ago when individuals like our protagonist dedicated their lives to unlocking mysteries through experimentation and observation. It serves as a reminder that human curiosity knows no bounds when it comes to unraveling life's enigmatic wonders.
