Marcellin Berthelot sometimes spelled Marcelin born on October 25 1827 in Paris where he died on March 18 1907 is a French chemist physical chemist biologist epistemologist and politician. The fundamental conception that underlay all Berthelot's chemical work was that all chemical phenomena depend on the action of physical forces which can be determined and measured. When he began his active career it was generally believed that although some instances of the synthetic production of organic substances had been observed on the whole organic chemistry remained an analytical science and could not become a constructive one because the formation of the substances with which it deals required the intervention of vital activity in some shape. He made significant contributions to the field through his translations and analyses of Greek Syriac and Arabic treatises on chemistry and alchemy. His research into these historical Arabic texts allowed him to distinguish between different traditions of practical and theoretical alchemy and provided deeper insights into the origins and development of chemistry. <br /> From the personal library collection of Brian Cotnoir alchemist artist and award-winning filmmaker.

PR121217Portrait of Justus Lipsius 1547-1606 bust directed to the right within an elaborate frame; on the right the serpent winding round the cornucopia symbolises Prudence while the scroll on the other side symbolises Doctrine and is lettered with the titles of Lipsius's major works; above is Mercury's winged hat. Frontispiece to Lipsius's edition of Seneca's works ""L. Annæi Senecæ Opera"" Antwerp: 1615 1st edition. This impression was included in the third edition from 1632.After a drawing by Rubens at the British Museum inv. 18910511.31. The preparatory drawing depicts the Flemish scholar Justus Lipsius and was for inclusion in the volume of Senecas works that was published in 1615 by the Plantin Press in Antwerp. Rubens depiction of Lipisus was produced by working from a painting by Abraham Janssens which explains for the rather static character. The portrait was drawn first and then Rubens drew in the foliate frame which is rich with emblematic meaning and incorporates a wreath cornucopia a winged hat of Mercury the sun and two lamps. Subsequent touches were added to the face of Lipsius in pen and ink. The design was subsequently engraved by Cornelis Galle I.Entry from J. Rowlands 'Rubens: Drawings and Sketches' exhibition catalogue London British Museum 1977:The sitter Justus Lipsius was a famous Flemish scholar and leading exponent of a modern stoic philosophy. He attempted to embrace and reconcile the ever increasing divisions in thought and religion in his day. In his search for a solution his restless moves from one sect to another of Christianity are not without considerable significance. Through his brother Philip who was a pupil of Lipsius Rubens adopted much of the Stoic outlook which in any case harmonised well with his temperament. He was for moderation in all things nothing to excess.This design is for the engraving in reverse by Cornelis Galle included in Lipsius's edition of Seneca's works published by the Plantin press in 1615 see 18910414.1001. Lipsius's edition of the works of the Roman rhetorician dramatist and philosopher was long to remain the standard one. The influence of Seneca's philosophical thought in the post-classical world reached its peak in Lipsius's own writings. As with all his other portraits of Lipsius Rubens based it on that now lost of the philosopher by Abraham Janssens.Lettered on the plinth with Lipsius's motto: MORIBVS ANTIQVIS. Lettered in Latin below in a cartouche with an allusion to Timanthes in two lines: LIPSIADÆ velum est Timantis imago. videri / Sol quoque sub picea non nisi nube potest. / Henr. d'Oultremannus.
