An alchemist reading at a table laden with a skull, a celestial globe, an hourglass, books, and bottles. Three men converse in the background. Alchemy was the pseudo-scientific predecessor of chemistry. Among other pursuits, alchemists searched for formulas that would turn base metals into gold. They sought wisdom and the secret to immortality. Engraving by David Teniers (1610-1690). | |
