EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back in time to the ancient city of Carthage during the First Punic War. The artist, Georges Antoine Rochegrosse, beautifully captures a moment of intense spirituality and devotion as Salammbo, daughter of Hamilcar Barca, prays to Tanit, the goddess of the moon. Salammbo's delicate features and graceful posture exude an air of reverence and solemnity. Her eyes closed in deep concentration, she reaches out towards the heavens with both hands as if seeking divine guidance and protection for her people. The backdrop of war adds a layer of complexity to this scene. As Rome clashes with Carthage on the battlefield, Salammbo turns to her faith for solace and strength. It is through rituals like these that she hopes to sway the tides of fortune in favor of her beloved city. Rochegrosse's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. From Salammbo's flowing garments adorned with intricate patterns to the ethereal glow surrounding her figure, each element contributes to a sense of otherworldly enchantment. This print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also offers us a glimpse into ancient history and mythology. Through Flaubert's novel "Salammbo" we witness how religion played a vital role in shaping societies during times of conflict and uncertainty. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we cannot help but be drawn into Salammbo's world - one where faith intertwines
