15 Dec 2025 to 19 Dec 2025
2:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Online via Zoom
With Sergei Zotov (Frances Yates Fellow, Warburg Institute)
This course opens a window onto the development of European visual culture and the history of science by tracing the evolution of alchemy and its artefacts. Alongside historical developments, we will examine how alchemy shaped art, intellectual traditions, and symbolic thinking.
The lecture series draws on rare manuscripts, artworks, apparatus, and other material evidence from alchemy’s golden age. Based on visits to over a hundred libraries housing alchemical treatises, it offers access to sources previously available only to specialists.

"Young reveals that the standard scientific explanation—neutrons splitting Uranium nuclei to sustain a chain reaction—is insufficient and possibly a crafted “quantum smoke screen.” This narrative obscures the simpler, more tangible thermal and mechanical processes actually at work. His exploration is not just scientific but deeply alchemical, reclaiming ancient wisdom as superior to the prevailing doctrines imposed by military intelligence and world power structures."

By Pierre Lory.
"As a medieval science, alchemy must be carefully distinguished from modern chemistry. Externally, the purpose of alchemy was the conversion of base metals like lead into silver or gold by means of long and complicated operations leading to the production of a mysterious substance, the “philosopher’s stone,” able to operate the transmutation. The idea is that all metals belong to the same species and evolve slowly in the earth from the state of lead to pure gold, and that the “philosopher’s stone” can artificially foster this evolution."
