I came upon the amazing drawings of Robert Fludd again, when I was browsing through pages about alchemy and I want to show you a couple of them. They are among my favorite drawings, because they are mysterious, geometrical and mystical. There is something about them that takes my breath away.
Robert Fludd was a Renaissance scholar who was a doctor with his own pharmacy, a physician, astrologer and philosopher all in one, and an artist as well when you look at his pictures.
This combination of professions is regarded as weird nowadays, but in the Renaissance science and spirituality were not so far apart, and to be specialised in just one area wasn't the thing to do.
