EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases "Emblema XII Lapis quem Saturnus pro Jove filio". The artwork, created by Michael Maier and beautifully etched by Matthaeus Merian in 1687, is a testament to their artistic genius. The image depicts an emblematic stone that was supposedly devoured by Saturn as a substitute for his son Jupiter. However, Saturn later regurgitated the stone which was then placed as a monument in Helicone for mortals to behold. This intriguing narrative is accompanied by meticulously crafted illustrations that perfectly capture the essence of Maier's profound exploration into the secrets of nature. The intricate details and thought-provoking symbolism present in this piece make it truly remarkable. Each element has been carefully etched onto copper plates with utmost precision, resulting in an ingeniously designed emblem that evokes deep contemplation. Furthermore, the accompanying sentiments and epigrams add another layer of intellectual depth to this masterpiece. It is evident that Maier's work not only sought to entertain but also educate its viewers on matters pertaining to alchemy and natural philosophy. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print located on page 34 of Maier's renowned book "Secretioris naturae secretorum scrutinium chymicum" we are transported back in time to appreciate the brilliance of these esteemed artists. Let us marvel at their ingenuity and celebrate their contribution to both art and knowledge.
