An Alchemist in His Studio

The Alchemist in His Studio, 17th century, Thomas Wijck, oil on panel. The jewel-like quality of the panel painting emphasizes the alchemist’s dignity and refinement. His furred cap and cloak show he is a person of substance. The books and sparkling distillation glassware demonstrate his learning.
