EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Esus, the Great God of Nature among the Gauls, worshipped in the Forests" takes us back to ancient times when the Gauls revered their deity amidst lush woodlands. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Esus as a central figure surrounded by nature's splendor. The image is part of a private collection and was featured in Paul Lacroix's book "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages". The engraving has been digitally cleaned to restore its original beauty. It offers a glimpse into medieval beliefs and rituals that were preserved through time. Esus holds great significance not only for the Gauls but also for Celtic culture as a whole. This artwork transports us to Paris in 1771 when an aging Celtic monument dedicated to Esus was discovered near Cluny Museum. The echoes of this ancient god can still be felt today within historical landmarks like Notre Dame's choir. As we admire this Renaissance-era depiction, we are reminded of humanity's deep connection with nature and our ancestors' reverence for it. Through art, we can explore different eras and cultures while appreciating their unique perspectives on spirituality and worship. Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate these remarkable works of art from various periods without commercial intentions. Let this enchanting print transport you back in time as you contemplate Esus, the Great God of Nature among the Gauls, worshipped in their sacred forests.
