Above, Mars in armour rides a cloud chariot drawn by two grey beasts. Around the niche his children make their living: horsemen and herdsmen with cattle at right, a burning village and fleeing figures at left, and below, knights in blue armour and pikemen crash together while the fallen lie underfoot. A gilt arched border frames the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: opaque colour and gold on parchment, about 1531–32, Kupferstichkabinett, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSplendor Solis, the Splendour of the Sun, is an illuminated German alchemical treatise in seven parts, attributed to Salomon Trismosin, a shadowy figure said to have taught Paracelsus, whose name is probably a pseudonym. Its 22 painted images, set in ornamental borders like a book of hours, follow the alchemical death and rebirth of the king through planetary figures, a philosophical tree, a hermaphrodite, black and red suns and flasks in which birds and beasts are transformed. The earliest copy, painted on vellum in 1531–32 and linked by its museum to painters of Nuremberg and Augsburg, is in the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin; a copy of 1582 is in the British Library. Watercolour copies of the London pages, painted by Edith Ibbs around 1907, are held by the Wellcome Collection.\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.
