Ashmolean Museum──和 Mitha Arya 。
English scholar, mathematician, astronomer and occult philosopher John Dee was born #onthisday in 1527. Dee was widely recognised as one of the most influential figures of the Elizabethan age.
Straddling modern science and magic, Dee spent much of his later life immersed in the worlds of magic and Hermeticism. Our upcoming exhibition, Spellbound, features a few objects that belonged to him and were related to his occult studies, including a crystal and a magical mirror.
Ashmolean founder Elias Ashmole owned a number of Dee's manuscripts and obtained this portrait while gathering material for a biography which, unfortunately, was never written. The portrait is thought to have been painted around 1594, and the artist is unknown.
