EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "Ferdinand Bol Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim" by Ferdinand Bol. The artwork depicts the enigmatic figure of Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, also known as Paracelsus, a prominent alchemist of the 16th century. Painted in oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 101 cm in height and 81 cm in width. The portrait captures Paracelsus at the age of twenty-four, with an inscription that reads: "Theofrastus Paracelsus Bombastus, aet 24, Qui non intelligent - aut faceat - aut dicat - aut abeat. - effigies". This Latin phrase translates to "Those who do not understand should either act or speak or leave". Paracelsus is depicted with an air of mystery and wisdom emanating from his piercing gaze. His contribution to alchemy and medicine during his lifetime was groundbreaking and continues to inspire scholars today. This print allows viewers to appreciate the intricate details of Bol's brushwork while capturing the essence of Paracelsian philosophy.
