EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Emblema XVIII from Michaelis Majeri's renowned work, Secretioris naturae secretorum scrutinium chymicum. The intricate etching, skillfully created by Matthaeus Merian in 1687, is a visual masterpiece that can be found on page 52 of the book. Emblema XVIII titled "Ignire ignis amat non aurificare" (Fire loves to ignite but not to refine gold) presents a profound allegorical message. It depicts fire as an entity with a passionate desire for ignition rather than refinement. The emblem beautifully captures this concept through ingeniously crafted symbols and thought-provoking sentences. The meticulous attention to detail in the copperplate engraving brings out the essence of each element within the artwork. Every stroke and line has been carefully etched to create an engaging composition that stimulates both the eyes and intellect of its beholders. Accompanied by insightful sentiments and learned epigrams, this emblem offers a deeper understanding of nature's secrets while inviting contemplation on human desires and aspirations. Its inclusion in Maier's work further enhances its significance as it contributes to the overall illumination provided by his scholarly exploration. This remarkable print preserves the historical importance and artistic brilliance of Emblema XVIII for generations to come. It serves as a testament to Majeri's intellectual prowess, Merian's exceptional craftsmanship, and their collective contribution towards unraveling nature's mysteries through symbolic representation.
