1682 Devotion Europeans Jan Luyken Laplanders Non Christian Religions Worship
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Laplanders worship the god Storiunkare, Lapland" we are transported back to the year 1682, where Europeans were exploring and documenting different cultures and religions. The print maker, Jan Luyken, along with Jan Claesz ten Hoorn, beautifully captures a moment of devotion and spirituality among the Laplanders. The image showcases a group of Laplanders gathered together in worship around their god Storiunkare. Their faces are filled with reverence as they engage in rituals that have been passed down through generations. It is fascinating to witness this non-Christian religious practice from a time when European explorers were encountering new belief systems outside their own. Jan Luyken's attention to detail brings out the intricate costumes worn by the Laplanders, highlighting their unique cultural identity. Through his artistry, he manages to convey not only their deep connection with nature but also their unwavering faith in Storiunkare. This print serves as a reminder of how diverse our world truly is when it comes to religion and spirituality. It invites us to appreciate and respect different belief systems beyond our own understanding. Quint Lox has done an exceptional job curating this piece from Liszt Collection, allowing us to delve into history while pondering on the universal human need for devotion and connection with something greater than ourselves.
