Action Celtic Druid Druidism Gallic Gaul Ordering Pagan Paganism Priest Print Collector12 Shock Shocked
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Le plus scelerat des hommes, ordonne qu on te prepare un tombe" transports us back to the year 1882-1884 in France. The image is part of a collection called La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles, Volume I, edited by F Roy. In this thought-provoking scene, we witness an intense moment as a male figure takes charge with his commanding presence. He stands within the confines of an ancient temple adorned with Celtic symbols and surrounded by birds that seem to be startled by his actions. The atmosphere exudes a sense of shock and awe as we are transported into the world of Gaulish paganism and druidism. The man depicted here appears to be a high-ranking priest or leader who possesses great authority over his people. His role is emphasized through the title's translation: "The most wicked of men orders that a tomb be prepared for you". This engraving captures not only religious practices but also reflects upon the rich history and cultural heritage of France. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted spirituality was in society during this period. As we gaze at this monochrome masterpiece from The Print Collector's collection, it encourages us to delve deeper into our understanding of French history while contemplating the power dynamics between religion, leadership, and its impact on individuals' lives.
