Art of Alchemy: From the Middle Ages to Modern Times
David Brafman
Descripción
- The first global history of alchemy, filled with color illustrations and colorful stories.
"David Brafman, just like the alchemists did, mixes ingredients to make gold."
--The New Scientist
Alchemists are notorious for attempting to synthesize gold. Their goals, however, were far more ambitious: to transform and bend nature to the will of an industrious human imagination. For scientists, philosophers, and artists alike, alchemy seemed to hold the key to unlocking the secrets of creation. Alchemists' efforts to discover the way the world is made have had an enduring impact on global artistic practice and expression.
Brafman's book is the first to explore how the art of alchemy globally transformed human creative culture from the ancient world to the modern scientific age, and displays the ways its legacy still permeates the world we make today.
