EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Astarte, the revered goddess worshipped by the ancient Phoenicians. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this print showcases a stunning portrayal of this mythical deity. Astarte stands with an air of divine grace, her wings spread wide and majestic as she holds a delicate figurine in her hand. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Astarte's significance to Phoenician culture and religion. Known as Ishtar in other ancient civilizations, she was considered a powerful goddess associated with fertility, love, and war. The image beautifully conveys her status as a celestial being with its intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship. Surrounded by various animals including birds and sea creatures, Astarte's connection to nature is evident. The presence of these wildlife animals symbolizes her dominion over both land and sea—an embodiment of life itself. This historical artwork not only serves as a visual representation of Phoenician history but also highlights their deep-rooted beliefs and reverence for deities like Astarte. Preserved through time, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an ancient civilization that held spirituality at its core. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and our eternal quest for understanding the divine forces that shape our world.
