A pair of legs kicks up from the water to the right. Beyond, a fortified hill town, tall-masted ships and a distant harbour city stand against rocky mountains. The plate is the thirty-first emblem of Michael Maier's Atalanta Fugiens (1618), engraved by Matthäus Merian the Elder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: engraving in Atalanta Fugiens, 1618, Wellcome Collection, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Maier (1568–1622) was a German physician, alchemist and author, born in Rendsburg in Holstein, who took a doctorate in medicine at Basel in 1596. In 1609 he became physician and counsellor to the Emperor Rudolf II in Prague, who made him a count palatine, and he later spent several years in England before settling in Frankfurt. His best-known book, Atalanta Fugiens, published by Johann Theodor de Bry at Oppenheim in 1617 and again in 1618, is an alchemical emblem book of fifty emblems, each combining an engraving by Matthäus Merian the Elder with an epigram, a prose discourse and a fugue for three voices. He died in Magdeburg. Copies of the book are held by the Wellcome Collection and the Science History Institute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
