“捕捉了令人難以置信的豐富的鍊金術藝術傳統。”

內容簡介

赫爾墨斯博物館帶領讀者進行一場神奇的神祕之旅，從中世紀的宇宙圖和基督教神祕主義的圖像，到迷人的鍊金術世界，再到浪漫主義時代的藝術。神祕的象形文字與早期醫學、化學、光學和色彩理論領域的科學插圖有着密切的聯繫。對於那些沒接觸過鍊金術的迷人歷史的人來説，這本書十分值得一讀。

每一個豐富的插圖章節從煉金術士的專家亞歷山大魯伯的介紹和引用開始。超現實主義和許多其他更近期的藝術運動的根源可以在這個寶庫中找到。

The Hermetic Museum takes readers on a magical mystery tour spanning an arc from the medieval cosmogram and images of Christian mysticism, through the fascinating world of alchemy to the art of the Romantic era. The enigmatic hieroglyphs of cabalists, Rosicrucians, and freemasons are shown to be closely linked with the early scientific illustrations in the fields of medicine, chemistry, optics, and color theory. Even for those with no knowledge of the fascinating history of alchemy, this book is a delight to explore. Each richly illustrated chapter begins with an introduction and quotes from alchemists by specialist Alexander Roob. The roots of surrealism and many other more recent artistic movements can be found in this treasure trove.
