EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Gallo-Roman art, depicting a stele sculpted with great intricacy and skill. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this stone relief features the representation of three significant figures from ancient mythology. At the center stands Cernunnos, the Gallic god known for his association with nature and fertility. Sitting between Apollo and Mercury, he exudes an air of power and wisdom. The artist has beautifully captured his regal presence, highlighting his antlered head and serene expression. To Cernunnos' left is Apollo, one of the most revered deities in Greek and Roman mythology. With his radiant countenance and lyre in hand, he symbolizes music, poetry, prophecy, healing, and light. His inclusion in this artwork adds a touch of divine elegance to the composition. On Cernunnos' right sits Mercury (also known as Hermes), who represents communication, commerce, travel, cunningness, and eloquence. With his winged sandals and caduceus staff held firmly by his side; he brings an element of dynamism to this scene. The craftsmanship displayed in this sculpture is truly awe-inspiring - every detail meticulously carved into the stone speaks volumes about the talent possessed by its creator. This artifact serves as a testament to both Gallo-Roman culture's reverence for their gods as well as their artistic prowess. Displayed at Mairie in Reims; France; it continues to captivate viewers today
