Della Porta Magia Naturalis (German 1713) (1607) - Page 19

An intricate alchemical and cosmological engraving. At the center is a large winged figure whose body is composed of celestial and terrestrial elements. The figure's head is a simple sphere, and its wings are adorned with stars.

A large circular ring of clouds, resembling an Ouroboros, forms the torso, containing various planetary and alchemical symbols. Inside this circle, a central sun radiates light, surrounded by symbols for Jupiter (♃), Mars (♂), Venus (♀), Saturn (♄), and the Moon (☾).

Seven rays or beams emanate from a celestial arc above the figure, each ending in a planetary symbol or celestial body: Mercury (☿), the Sun, Saturn (♄), and others. The figure's right hand holds a flaming branch or star-like object, while the left hand holds a small rod or scroll.

The figure stands upon a landscape. To the left is a rocky mountain with a stag drinking from a stream. In the center foreground, a serpent or dragon crawls on the ground. To the right, the landscape transitions into water, where a pair of stone tablets (resembling the Decalogue) and a human figure appear to be emerging from or sinking into the waves. The background is a dark, star-filled sky.
