Die Rezeption der Embleme der "Atalanta fugiens" in der Malerei
This paper uses two very different examples to show how certain image types and sometimes entire picturae from emblem books were reused in other emblematic works or even in painting - sometimes directly transferred, sometimes slightly modified, sometimes in the same context, sometimes detached from the original subject matter. To illustrate this process of motif transformation, two cases are examined in more detail: two paintings from the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica in Amsterdam based on Michael Maier’s Atalanta fugiens and the title page of the Museaeum Hermeticum.
