  John Keats and Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-27-2023, 07:49 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

“I have seen that Endymion. Hyperion, and The Fall of Hyperion, besides adhering to the individuation myth, can also be discussed in the context of the process of alchemy. Within these poems there are a number of significant alchemical parallels, which help us to understand their unity, which becomes manifest when it is seen that they progress according to the stages of the opus alchemicum. Alchemy is an untapped reservoir of truth about the human soul, containing seventeen centuries of study and speculation.”

  Forshaw: Ficino & the Chemical Art
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-26-2023, 06:58 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

“In the two most famous published collections of alchemical works, Jean Jacques Manget’s Bibliotheca Chemica Curiosa (1702) and Lazarus Zetzner’s Theatrum Chemicum (1659-61), Ficino, translator of the Corpus Hermeticum, is assimilated into the ranks of the Hermetic philosophers, appearing at the head of a list of Italian alchemists and as the author of both a Liber de Arte Chemica and de Aurei Velleris mysterio.”

  Jan Josef Horemans the Elder
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-26-2023, 09:05 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

Two paintings on the same theme: a lady visiting an alchemist in his laboratory.

Jan Josef Horemans the Elder (1682–1759) was a Flemish painter of the 18th-century. He was mainly known for his genre scenes but he also painted portraits and historical allegories.


If the lady in the first painting is indeed a pregnant nun, I wonder if this is a satire on the Catholic regular clergy as well as on alchemists and their 'potions'?
