Black and white engraving of a distorted god emerging from fiery primordial energy.

Black and white engraving of a distorted god emerging from fiery primordial energy.
Pro

an antique, black-and-white copperplate engraving, featuring linework and crosshatching (but not too detailed), of a god of Chaos being born from fiery primordial energy. The colossal and terrible humanoid figure is distorted as it emerges from the energy. The surface of the god's body has the appearance of molten lava, riddled with cracks through which can be seen the white-hot lava. The style of engraving should match that of the illustrations and emblems of a 17th-century alchemical or botanical text, or of those found in the text "Atalanta Fugiens" by Michael Maier. The linework is set against a solid white background. See more
