EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the mystical world of ancient Brittany. The image, titled "Druids in Brittany" is an illustration from Jacques Cambry's renowned book "Voyage dans le Finistere" published in Paris in 1801. In this atmospheric scene, we find ourselves deep within a dense forest surrounded by towering trees and standing stones. A group of Gallic Druids, adorned with long beards and traditional habits, gather around a sacred dolmen. They are engaged in a primitive ritual, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the canopy above. The central figure stands tall, his presence commanding attention as he addresses an audience of Gaulish men who listen intently. This priestly druid acts as an oracle, offering wisdom and guidance to those seeking answers from the divine. The image captures the essence of ancient Gaulish religion and its connection to nature. It evokes a sense of mystery and reverence for these revered figures who held significant influence over their communities. Through this powerful visual representation, we are transported into a world where pagan rituals were deeply intertwined with daily life. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to contemplate the profound spiritual practices that shaped our ancestors' lives centuries ago.
