At upper left a face in the clouds sends a slanting beam from its mouth. Across the pond a thatched hut with a plank landing, a humped bridge with a fence and a hill town with a castle fill the middle distance. From Michael Maier's alchemical emblem book Atalanta Fugiens, 1618, engraved by Matthäus Merian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: engraving in Atalanta Fugiens, Oppenheim, 1618, Science History Institute, Philadelphia.\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\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
