EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Heinrich Agrippa, a renowned German alchemist from the 16th century. In this illustration, Agrippa is depicted deep in thought as he writes on a scroll with a quill. Known also as Agrippa von Nettesheim, he was born in Cologne and pursued studies in theology, philosophy, law, and medicine at the University of Cologne. Agrippa's intellectual prowess led him to become imperial consul to Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. His notable works include "De incertitudine et vanitate scientiarum" (1530), which explores the uncertainty and vanity of scientific knowledge, and "De Occulta Philosphia" (1533), an extensive three-volume treatise on western magic and esoteric traditions. This engraving is part of Les vrais pourtraits et vies des hommes illustres (1584) by French writer and explorer Andre Thevet. It beautifully captures Agrippa's scholarly demeanor while highlighting his contributions to various fields such as alchemy, philosophy, theology, chemistry, and law. As we gaze upon this historical artwork filled with symbolism from the 1500s, we are reminded of Agrippa's significant role as a natural philosopher during that era. This monochrome portrayal serves as a testament to his intellect and influence within academia.
