"An Alchymist" is a renowned painting by Joseph Wright of Derby, an 18th-century English artist celebrated for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his depictions of scientific subjects. Created in 1771, the painting is also known by its full title, "The Alchymist, in Search of the Philosopher's Stone, Discovers Phosphorus, and prays for the successful Conclusion of his operation, as was the custom of the Ancient Chymical Astrologers." This work exemplifies Wright's fascination with the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his interest in the burgeoning scientific discoveries of his time.

The painting captures a pivotal moment in the history of chemistry, depicting an alchemist in the act of discovering phosphorus. The scene is set in a dimly lit laboratory, where the alchemist, surrounded by various scientific instruments and manuscripts, gazes in awe at the glowing substance he has created. The ethereal light emanating from the phosphorus illuminates the alchemist's face and hands, creating a striking contrast with the dark surroundings and emphasizing the mystical and transformative nature of the discovery.

Wright's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the emotional intensity of the moment make "An Alchymist" a powerful representation of the Enlightenment era's spirit of inquiry and the quest for knowledge. The painting not only highlights the scientific advancements of the period but also reflects the broader cultural and philosophical shifts towards reason and empirical evidence.

"An Alchymist" is part of a series of works by Wright that explore themes of science and industry, including his famous "Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump" and "The Orrery." These paintings collectively underscore Wright's role as a key figure in the visual culture of the Enlightenment, bridging the gap between art and science. Today, "An Alchymist" is held in high regard and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
