"The collection Alchemy and Culture offers a deep dive into the multifaceted legacy of alchemy, demonstrating its inextricable link with various aspects of human culture. In three key essays,readers learn how ancient alchemical ideas and practices extended far beyond the laboratory, permeating art, literature,philosophy, and even economics. James Elkins explores the complexrelationship between alchemical symbolism and modern art, revealing points of attraction and repulsion. Henry C. Bolton reveals the surprising influence of alchemy on numismatics, showing how the dream of transmuting metals left a tangible mark on coins and medals. Elizabeth Holmes analyses the profound impact of Hermetic philosophy on the work of the outstanding poet Henry Vaughan, demonstrating how mystical teachings shaped his poetic world. The collection is supplemented with illustrations, accompanying articles and comments. The collection concludes with an afterword by V. V. Vinokurov, Doctor of Philology."

"If I had to sum up the process of spiritual alchemy as simply as possible. I would say that it is a mixture of gaining knowledge, but the most important part being wisdom and philosophy, and understanding of one's self. This involves the process of the hero's journey, and is the idea behind the Wise Old Man archetype. The idea is that wisdom comes from experience, having learned through trial and error and experimentation. Learning from mistakes and failures."

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.
