“The Wholeness of Nature Reflected in the Mirror of Art”, the macrocosm showing the human body as the world soul, from the first volume of Robert Fludd's Utriusque Cosmi . . . Historia, 1617.

Featured on PDR in the essay Robert Fludd and His Images of The Divine

Between 1617 and 1621 the English physician and polymath Robert Fludd published his masterpiece Utriusque Cosmi . . . Historia, a two-volume work packed with over sixty intricate engravings. Urszula Szulakowska looks at the philosophical and theological ideas behind the extraordinary images found in the first volume, an exploration of the macrocosm of the universe and spiritual realm.
