7 Spirits in 7 Crystal Vases: Pietro d'Abano

July 8, 2020

Pietro d’Abano is remembered for being many things: physician, philosopher, astrologer and, more controversially, a magician. Read all about the 7 spirits he apparently conjured and kept in 7 crystal vases, as well as his belief behind fusing the worlds of science and astrology together. There are also more of my original illustrations (both traditional and digital) you may enjoy flicking through so, get a cup of tea, sit down and come with me on a magical journey to mid-1200’s Italy!
