Alchemical Art - the Precursor to Surrealism
#1
by Madelyn Kenney


"The alchemical arts date back as far as between the first and third centuries AD, but its purpose within mysticism and the quest for renewable gold began in the 1300s. Alchemical art was a process that utilized the experimentation and observation of simple metals like sulfur and mercury manifest alongside inner exploration and development. In this time period, the sciences were considered to still be an artistic and spiritual endeavor. In Medieval Europe, alchemy was referred to as “The Great Art.” because it acted as an intersection between the arts, sciences, and cultural expression."
