EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Early art: construction of a pagan idol" takes us back to the 19th century in Germany. Created by Carl Gehrts, this artwork is part of a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for Bildersaal Deutscher Geschichte in 1890. The scene depicted showcases the fascinating process of constructing a pagan idol during ancient times. The artist skillfully captures the essence of prehistoric religious practices, shedding light on polytheistic beliefs and rituals that were prevalent in Northern Germany. Through intricate details, we witness a sculptor diligently working on shaping the statue while surrounded by various tools commonly used in construction work. This glimpse into history allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also provides insight into early European culture. Gehrts' engraving transports us to an era where paganism reigned supreme, offering a window into an age long gone. The image evokes curiosity about our ancestors' spiritual practices and their connection with nature and primeval forces. With its monochromatic palette, this print exudes a timeless quality that adds depth to its historical significance. It serves as both an artistic representation and educational tool for those interested in exploring Europe's rich cultural heritage from centuries past.
