EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Image of Dame Astrology with the Three Fates" from the Traite de la Cabale Chretienne, a renowned work by Jean Thenaud. Created in the 16th century, this engraving beautifully depicts the intricate relationship between astrology and fate. In the center of the composition, we see three ethereal figures known as Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos - commonly referred to as The Three Fates. They are depicted holding a spindle and distaff, symbolizing their role in spinning and controlling the thread of life for every individual. Surrounding them are celestial beings such as cherubs, seraphs, and angels representing various aspects of spirituality. The image is steeped in symbolism derived from Kabbalah teachings. It serves as an allegorical representation of how astrology influences human destiny according to this mystical tradition. Each element within the composition carries profound meaning that invites contemplation on our place within a greater cosmic order. Paul Lacroix's masterful engravings bring this extraordinary artwork to life once again in his book Science and Literature in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Preserved within private collections today, this miniature offers us a glimpse into both historical beliefs about fate and divination practices during that era. As we explore this mesmerizing piece through Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Art Library, we are reminded of humanity's eternal fascination with understanding its connection to celestial forces beyond our control.
