Illustration from Atalanta fugiens by Michael Maier, first published in 1618 in Oppenheim, one of the most renowned emblem books of the hermetic-alchemical tradition. Combining fifty engravings with epigrams, fugues, and discourses, it was designed as a meditation on transformation. This emblem depicts the element of Air, “in whose breath the philosopher’s stone is conceived”, a reminder that in alchemy, creation begins not in matter, but in the unseen.
