EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Theothrastus Paracelsus, a renowned alchemist and physician from the 16th century. The image is a copy of an illustration found in his book Astronomica et Astrologica Pouscula, published in Cologne in 1567. This particular woodcut was later used in a History of Magic publication during the late 19th century. The portrait depicts Paracelsus as a distinguished male figure with an air of wisdom and authority. His piercing gaze seems to penetrate through time, reflecting his profound knowledge and groundbreaking contributions to medicine. Known for establishing the role of chemistry within medical practices, Paracelsus revolutionized the field with his innovative ideas. Displayed within this private collection, this print offers us a glimpse into the life and legacy of one of history's most influential figures. Paracelsus' true name was Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim but he is commonly referred to as Paracelsus or simply "Paracelse". His impact on medicine during the 16th century cannot be overstated. As we admire this exquisite piece by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also recognize the significant advancements made by individuals like Paracelsus who paved the way for modern medical practices. This portrait serves as both a tribute to his enduring legacy and an invitation to explore further into the fascinating world of alchemy and ancient healing arts.
