EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Dodona, a prehistoric oracle in northwestern Greece. Created by artist Leonard Gaultier in 1615, this engraving showcases a scene filled with celebration and belief. In the image, women can be seen dancing outside amidst a rustic rural setting, holding hands as they worship and celebrate their faith. The Hellenistic Greek influence is evident through the portrayal of female figures adorned with jewelry, including rings and other ornate accessories. The tree and plants surrounding them symbolize their connection to nature and the divine. Dodona was dedicated to Zeus, the Greek god, as well as the Mother Goddess known here as Dione. This sacred site held great significance for worshippers who sought guidance from these deities through oracles. Leonard Gaultier's illustration beautifully captures both the religious aspect of Dodona's rituals and its integration into everyday life during the seventeenth century. The monochrome art media adds depth to this depiction while emphasizing its historical context. This print serves as a reminder of ancient beliefs that continue to inspire people today. It transports us back in time to witness an important moment in history where spirituality intertwines with communal celebrations amidst nature's embrace.
