Lecture: 'Alchemy, Art and Eroticism'
Prague around 1600
Characteristic of the Renaissance was the invisible dividing line between art and science, astronomy and astrology, chemistry and alchemy. Alchemists were invited to Rudolf's court to make 'gold' and gain insight into the riddles of the cosmos. During this lecture, discover their finds and several important paintings and images with alchemical meanings.
