Illustration made for the micronovel “Bagliori” by Racconti Crestati.
The story is about a chemist with ruffled hair and a red beard and shaggy: his dream is to turn lead into gold.
After years of failed attempts, now made mad by the substances with which he works every day, he finally sees the mythical rainbow: the chemist chases him but instead of finding gold and treasures, he finds himself in the university courtyard.
