The Gold Weigher, 1908-1909
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the 16th and 17th centuries. Created by Saloman Koninck, this artwork showcases an elderly man immersed in the world of alchemy and science. With his white hair and distinguished facial hair, he exudes wisdom and experience. The gold weigher holds a weighing device with precision as he carefully measures the precious metal. The interior setting adds to the ambiance of mystery surrounding this ancient practice. The vibrant purple cloth draped over his shoulder adds a touch of color to the scene. Intriguingly, behind him hangs a zodiac wheel, specifically highlighting Libra - symbolizing balance and justice. This inclusion hints at how astrology played a role in alchemical practices during that time. Saloman Koninck's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life. The aged appearance of both the man and his surroundings transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the artistry involved in weighing gold. This remarkable piece was featured in "Penroses Pictorial Annual 1908-1909" edited by William Gamble and published by AW Penrose in London during Edwardian times. It serves as a testament to Koninck's skill as an artist while offering viewers an intriguing glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten.
