Description

Laboratories of Art examines the profound connections between artisanal workshops and alchemical laboratories across more than two thousand years of history. This scholarly work traces how artists and alchemists exchanged knowledge and techniques from Antiquity through the eighteenth century, revealing the shared foundations of their practices. The book pays particular attention to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when the term laboratorium first emerged to describe workplaces where chemical operations such as smelting, combustion, distillation, dissolution and precipitation took place. By exploring artisanal workshops equipped with furnaces and fire, the author demonstrates how these spaces blurred the boundaries between art and alchemy, showing that creative and chemical processes were deeply intertwined. This volume contributes to understanding how technological innovation and artistic practice developed through collaborative epistemic exchanges, making it essential reading for historians of art, science, technology and material culture.
