Alchemist at work. 16th-century artwork showing an alchemist (left) at work. He is seated at a stove,holding a large coin in one hand over a crucible,and using tongs to hold another crucible with the other hand. Behind him is his wife with an empty purse. A fool is operating the bellows. Seated at far right is a scholar reading a book. Three children are playing in an empty cupboard. Through the window is a later scene,showing the same family being received into the poorhouse. This photomechanically reproduced etching,titled 'The Alchemist',is by Flemish artist Hieronymous Cock,after an earlier work by Flemish artist Pieter Brueghel | |
