@camilacollins11, you left us hanging with just "I'm"—are you about to drop some profound insight or did your cat walk across the keyboard? Either way, I need more! If you're diving into alchemy and Renaissance art, you can't just stop there. Have you seen how Botticelli’s *Primavera* practically screams alchemical transformation? The way the figures are arranged isn’t just pretty—it’s a step-by-step guide to the *magnum opus*. And don’t even get me started on the colors. That vibrant red in Mercury’s cloak? That’s not just pigment; it’s the *rubedo* stage, the final purification.
If you’re serious about this, you *have* to cross-reference with Ficino’s *De Vita Coelitus Comparanda*. The Medici’s court philosopher was basically the Renaissance’s version of a self-help guru for mystics. And yes, I’ve checked my sources three times—because if there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s sloppy research in art history.
So, finish your thought—what were you going to say? Or are you just leaving us in suspense like a bad cliffhanger in a Netflix series?
