J. J. Borghetto the alchemist and the snake hunter in pendant 1945 pair of medium format paintings of french origin; the first portrays an alchemist, rather than a pharmacist or chemist sitting in his laboratory among test tubes and stills. The elegantly dressed man is sitting at the table intent on writing. At the bottom right within a scroll we find the writing homo versutus scientiam celat. Prov. Xii v7. Under the signature j.j. Borghetto juin 1945.
the second painting with the same dimensions represents three men with nordic clothing intent on catching snakes with the help of forked sticks and spring-loaded pliers to place them in a shoulder bag. At the bottom left within a scroll we find the writing coleban mutos serpentis sap. Ii. V16. In the opposite corner, borghetto's signature. This piece has an attribution mark,
