Frontispiece: ‘Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae’ Angels form an arc under the central light, which is YHWH (יהוה), the Hebrew letters for God. Daylight is the source of direct light, refracted light, and light reflected by night (on right). Divine authority, a hand writing a book that absorbs light directly from the source of all light, oversees the daylight, and it is a little higher than Reason, the hand writing a book above the night, which receives a more modest eye’s light. Below daylight is Profane Authority, which receives only a lantern’s light; below Reason is Sense, which points to an image produced by a telescope. Emperor Ferdinand enters the picture as one of Kircher’s patrons.

Greg Eason’s use of space monumentalizes the subject within, from lazy lions, to listless figures staring into the depths of space. Objects in his works are usually portrayed as symbolisms for each other, whether they are adjacently paired, or otherwise.

Illustration by Dmitry Ligay Conceptually confusing, surreal and unsettling ink and pencil works by Uzbekistan artist, Dmitry Ligay. With an illustration style based off of some twisted narrative realism, a mix of styles and elements, Dmitry’s works are difficult to pinpoint, and with a hurricane of imagery- throughly entertaining. source: juxtapoz

Phalaris condemning the sculptor Perillus to the Bronze Bull, after Baldassare Peruzzi by Pierre Woeiriot 1562 The brazen bull, bronze bull, or Sicilian bull, was a torture and execution device designed in ancient Greece. Its inventor, metal worker Perillos of Athens, proposed it to Phalaris, the tyrant of Akragas, Sicily, as a new means of executing criminals. The bull was made entirely of bronze, hollow, with a door in one side. The condemned were locked in the bull, and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until it became yellow-hot and causing the person inside to roast to death. source: wikipedia
