EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Emblema XXXVIII, titled "Rebis ut Hermaphroditus nascitur ex". The artwork is featured in the book "Secretioris naturae secretorum scrutinium chymicum" by Michaelis Majeri, published in 1687. The etching was skillfully created by Matthaeus Merian and can be found on page 112 of the book. Emblema XXXVIII portrays the birth of Hermaphroditus from two mountains representing Mercury and Venus. This emblematic representation explores the concept of duality and unity within nature. Through intricate copper engravings, this piece beautifully captures the essence of this philosophical idea. The artist's ingenuity shines through as they expertly combine visual elements with profound sentiments and thought-provoking epigrams that accompany each emblem throughout the book. Maier's work delves into the secrets of nature, inviting readers to explore its hidden depths with both their eyes and intellect. This print allows us to appreciate not only Merian's exceptional craftsmanship but also Maier's profound understanding of alchemical symbolism. It serves as a reminder that art has long been used as a medium for exploring complex ideas and expressing deep philosophical concepts.
