Légende

An Alchemist, 1650. Alchemists were concerned with the transmutation of "base metals" (eg, lead) into "noble metals" (particularly gold); the creation of an elixir of immortality; and the creation of panaceas able to cure any disease. The concept of creating the philosopher's stone was variously connected with all of these projects.
