EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting "The sibyl of Tiburtis announcing to Augustus the coming of Jesus Christ". The image showcases the meeting between Caesar Augustus, the renowned Roman Emperor, and a mysterious prophetess known as the sibyl. Painted with vibrant colors and intricate details, this 19th-century lithograph brings to life an ancient tale. According to legend, the sibyl was believed to possess divine knowledge and foresight. In this scene, she stands before Augustus, her face radiant with conviction as she delivers a prophecy that would shape the course of Christianity forever. With her hand raised towards heaven and eyes filled with intensity, it is clear that she carries an important message. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Science and Literature in the Middle Ages by Paul Lacroix published in London in 1878, we are transported back in time. The composition evokes both awe and curiosity about what words were exchanged between these two figures. This artwork not only highlights historical significance but also explores themes of faith and destiny. It serves as a reminder that even amidst pagan beliefs prevalent during those times; there were whispers of something greater on the horizon - the arrival of Jesus Christ himself. Intriguingly enigmatic yet undeniably powerful, this print invites us to ponder upon prophecies fulfilled while marveling at how art can beautifully capture moments that transcend time itself.
