Splendor Solis, illustrated by Laurie Lipton
Trismosin's 'Splendor Solis' is an exceptional illuminated alchemical manuscript from the 16th century. The Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica holds both older and newer versions of this text, and has published on the manuscript itself.
American artist Laurie Lipton has skillfully recreated all 22 images from this manuscript with colour pencil. A selection of 6 drawings are available exclusively as a set of postcards.
A description of the image is provided on the back of each card in four different languages (Dutch, English, German, and French).
