Atalanta Fugiens — 25 Alchemical Engravings · Michael Maier 1617
The first half of Michael Maier's Atalanta Fugiens (1617) — twenty-five emblematic engravings by Matthäus Merian, carefully restored and ready to print.Atalanta Fugiens is the most celebrated emblem book in all of alchemy — a suite of allegorical plates pairing the Sun and Moon, the dragon and the eagle, the philosopher and his geometry. This set gathers Emblems I–XXV, among them the iconic "squaring of the circle" (Emblem 21), the ouroboros dragon, the globe of the Earth, and the winged wind. We started from authentic period plates, removed centuries of staining, foxing and yellowing, rebuilt the fine engraved line, and delivered each plate as crisp high-resolution files you can print large without losing a single hatch line.Every emblem comes in two versions, so it fits any wall:- Square (1:1) — the emblem filled edge-to-edge for a clean square frame or mat. Modern, graphic, gallery-wall ready.- Native — the full original plate at its true proportions, for collectors who want the complete engraving.Buy the set and you get both versions of all twenty-five emblems — 50 finished artworks in total.Why these prints- Genuinely restored from the original 1617 engravings — not a muddy scan.- Vector PDF included, so a single file prints sharp from a postcard to a poster.- Curated as a complete, coherent suite — a true gallery wall, not random singles.- Instant digital download — print at home or send to any photo lab.What's included- All 25 emblems × 2 versions (Square + Native) = 50 artworks- High-resolution PNGs at 300 DPI (6000 px on the long side): - Square (1:1): prints 8×8, 10×10, 12×12, 16×16, 20×20 in - Native: the full plate at its original proportions- Scalable vector PDF of every version — any size, no quality loss- RGB color, clean white margins (nothing gets cropped)- Printing Guide (PDF) — paper, sizing and photo-lab tips- Instant download · for personal printing & décor
