"Scientists found arsenic sulfide pigments in “The Night Watch,” arguably the artist’s most famous painting...Our research involved examining 17th-century trade records, apothecary pharmacopeias, price lists and contemporary writings on metallurgy,” lead author Nouchka de Keyser, an Operation Night Watch team member, tells Hyperallergic. The researchers also combed through painters’ manuals and alchemical literature, including Danish historian Ole Worm’s Museum Wormianum."

  The Alchemy of Revolution: Gerrard Winstanley
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-01-2024, 06:25 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

The Alchemy of Revolution: Gerrard Winstanley's Occultism and Seventeenth-Century English Communism (American University Studies) - Hardcover

Mulder, David

"This pioneering study in the history of revolutionary thought presents a reinterpretation of the development of communism among the lower classes during the English Revolution of the 1640s. The subject of the study is the revolutionary ideology of Gerrard Winstanley, the leader of the Diggers, a group of rural laborers who in 1649 founded a communistic colony and challenged conservative revolutionary leaders like Oliver Cromwell. The main principle of reinterpretation is what the author terms «chronological realism», a method that seeks to analyze Winstanley's ideology on its own terms without reference to modern socialism. Primary among the conclusions of this study is that hermeticism, or the theory of alchemy, formed the basis of what was genuinely revolutionary in Digger ideology."
