THE ATLAS OF THE UNPAINTABLE
Robert Fludd
Fludd
nature
English physician and cosmologist whose folios are almost entirely PICTURES — the two worlds as interlocking pyramids, the monochord strung from earth to God, and a black square captioned Et sic in infinitum.
⭐⭐ HE PAINTED A BLACK SQUARE AND CALLED IT THE INFINITE, THREE HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE MALEVICH. The engravings in Utriusque Cosmi Historia are the deepest well of esoteric imagery in European print, and half the diagrams people call "kabbalistic" are Fludd's.

Et sic in infinitum — and so on, to infinity.
