Laurie Lipton’s Splendor Solis

Splendor Solis: Winged (1989).

Following from the post earlier this month about the Splendor Solis series of alchemical plates, Thom draws my attention to a contemporary reworking by American artist Laurie Lipton. I seem to recall seeing one of these at Phantasmaphile but didn’t think at the time to see whether Ms Lipton had any similar work. She does indeed have similar work, her own versions of the entire series of plates, all of them detailed drawings produced with coloured pencils. See the full set here. Thanks Thom!
