EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Emblema XXV, a powerful emblem titled "Draco non moritur nisi cum fratre" or "The Dragon does not die unless it is killed with its brother". The intricate etching, created by Michael Maier and Matthaeus Merian in 1687, depicts a profound allegory of nature's secrets. In this emblem, the dragon symbolizes an eternal force that cannot be defeated alone. It can only meet its demise when confronted with its sibling - the Sun and the Moon represented as Sol and Luna. This artwork beautifully captures the interdependence of celestial bodies and their influence on earthly existence. Maier's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every element of this composition. The carefully crafted copper engravings bring life to ingeniously designed emblems that provoke thought-provoking sentiments. Accompanied by expertly written epigrams, each image tells a story that illuminates hidden truths about nature's mysteries. Displayed on page 73 of Maier's renowned work "Secretioris naturae secretorum scrutinium chymicum" this remarkable print invites viewers to delve into a world where symbolism intertwines with scientific inquiry. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its contribution to alchemical studies during the Renaissance period. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, let us contemplate our own interconnectedness within the vast tapestry of existence – for just like the dragon, we too are bound together with unseen threads that shape our destinies.
