Description

Emblem XLIX (titled "Infans Philosophicus tres agnoscit patres, ut Orion") from the Michael Maier 's Atalanta fugiens, a Latin emblem book printed in Germany.

The emblem represents an allegory of the conception of Orion as the "child of philosophy". The fathers are (left to right) Apollo, Vulcan and Mercury conceiving in a ox hide. The artist stands to the left, and Mars to the right. (see excerpted commentary from Stanislas Klossowski de Rola’s The Golden Game: Alchemical Engravings of the Seventeenth Century)
