EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ideal figure of Hermes Trismegistus, a mythical character known for his wisdom and mastery in various fields. The image is a copy of an illustration from "De Divinatione et Magicis Praestigiis" by Jean-Jacques Boissard, published in 1605 but reproduced in the late 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist from the 17th century, depicts Hermes Trismegistus surrounded by symbols and objects associated with superstition, alchemy, and occult practices. In this intricate artwork, we see spheres spinning around him representing celestial knowledge while spears and arrows symbolize his power over weapons. Hermes Trismegistus holds a caduceus in one hand, which signifies his role as a messenger between gods and humans. His masculine form exudes strength and authority as he stands confidently amidst this mystical scene. This piece offers us a glimpse into the rich history of magic during the Renaissance period. It reminds us of humanity's fascination with ancient wisdom and our relentless pursuit to unlock its secrets through alchemical practices. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection at a private collection today, this print from Bridgeman Images captures not only the beauty but also the enigmatic allure surrounding Hermes Trismegistus - an iconic figure that continues to captivate minds across generations.
