Alchemical Process Drawings — Figura Divina Theosophia, Cabala, Magia (1750) - Page 3

A complex, hand-colored alchemical and theological diagram representing the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. At the top, a radiant Trinity cross representing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit descends over a winged heart featuring a red hexagram. Below, a central tree divides into two branches: the left, "The Tree of Good" (also called the Tree of Life) bearing green leaves, and the right, "The Tree of Knowledge and Evil" (also called the Tree of Death) bearing red fruits. A central figure with multiple arms holds symbolic elements including a golden sun and a blue-and-white field. At the base, an eye within a blue circle is flanked by triangles containing symbolic letters above a final exhortation to self-knowledge.
