The Symbology of Metals – Where Art & Business Meet

Metals have had a long history of symbolic relationships. Most notably, the attachment of symbols to metals can be traced to the ancient science of alchemy. Among other things, alchemists were interested in turning base metals into gold and silver. Along the way, they created some very intriguing elemental alchemy symbolic codes. An engaging modern day interpretation was designed by the artist Murray Robertson and can be found at:

From his Glasgow Print Studio, Robertson has more recently been involved in the visualization of many aspects of scientific study.
