Churton's portrait of Elias Ashmole (1617-1692) offers a perfect illustration of the true Renaissance figure--the magus. Ashmole was a key figure in the ferment surrounding the birth of modern science, a missing link between operative and symbolic Freemasonry, and a vital transmitter of esoteric thought when the laws of science were first taking hold.
