The Alchemical Laboratory in the Mirror of 16th and 17th Century Fine Art

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

During the first half of the 17th century, the depiction of the alchemist in the lab-oratory became one of the common themes in Dutch and Flemish genre painting.These depictions took different forms: some were satirical, while others showedthe alchemist with some seriousness and frequently surrounded by a melancholicatmosphere. Until the middle of the 16th century, the depiction of alchemists andtheir laboratories was primarily the subject of alchemical and other technologicaltreatises. It is important to compare various examples of the alchemical laboratory’sportrayal in fine art and scholarly works dealing with alchemy or metallurgy. I wantto draw attention to the differences in the depictions of the laboratory in both areasand the fundamental difference in the meaning of these depictions themselves. Mypremise that I would like to verify in this essay I formulate as follows: In the caseof depictions in scholarly works, the art is a means of representing a subject of lab-oratory equipment, in the case of works of genre painting, the topic of laboratoryequipment is a means of creating a picturesque work of art.
