EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century engraving, titled "Eight Women Sacrificing to Priapus" transports us back in time to an era of ancient worship and devotion. Created by the talented artist Lambert Lombard, this print showcases his mastery in capturing intricate details and evoking a sense of mysticism. The scene depicts eight women gathered around the Roman deity Priapus, engaging in a solemn act of sacrifice. Their expressions are filled with reverence as they offer their prayers and offerings to this god associated with fertility and protection. The composition is richly adorned with symbolic elements such as an animal sacrifice, specifically a horse, emphasizing the significance of this ritualistic act. Lombard's attention to detail shines through every line etched into the print, allowing us to appreciate the delicate features of each woman's attire and facial expression. This work serves as a window into religious practices during that period, showcasing both the devotion and cultural beliefs surrounding deities like Priapus. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and space. It invites us to reflect on humanity's enduring fascination with spirituality while appreciating Lombard's artistic prowess that has stood the test of time.
