Hill, C. R. (Author)
Description The author applies the critical method of the art historian and suggests that the historian of science should reconsider the meaning of pictures of “alchemists” by certain 17th-century artists, including David Teniers the Younger (1610-90), Matthieu von Helmont (1623-after 1679), and David Ryckaert (1612-61). After an analysis of 10 paintings (reproduced in the article), he cautions against accepting them as valid pictorial accounts of alchemical ambience and apparatus. (G.B. KAUFFMAN)
