Ars Magna Lucis, Threefold Universe, 1646
A visually dramatic image of the threefold universe of the Hermetic tradition: God and his angels inhabit the highest heaven, while an unmistakable Christ-like figure rules the Zodiac, which pours down its rays upon the world of man, governed by secular rulers. From Athanasius Kircher's Ars Magna Lucis, 1646
