EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient city of Pompeii, specifically to the majestic Temple of Isis. The illustration, taken from Saint Non's Voyage pittoresque de Naples et de Sicile, beautifully captures the grandeur and architectural splendor of this Roman temple. The scene is filled with a sense of reverence and devotion as worshippers engage in a pagan festival within the temple grounds. Columns rise tall and proud, forming an impressive colonnade that leads to a magnificent portico. The peristyle exudes an aura of tranquility and spirituality. Intriguingly, we witness a sacrificial ceremony taking place before our eyes. Flames dance gracefully as offerings are made to appease the gods. This momentous occasion is marked by celebration and procession as devotees honor their deity with utmost devotion. The intricate details etched by Desprez bring this historical moment to life, while Duplessi-Bertaux skillfully captures the essence of each figure involved in this religious ritual. Edouard Gautier d Agoty and Louis Charles d Agoty contribute their artistic talents by etching other aspects of this remarkable work. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be transported into the heart of ancient Rome itself – witnessing firsthand both its architectural marvels and its deep-rooted spiritual traditions. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art has the power to connect us with our past and evoke emotions that transcend time itself.
