EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "A Feast in the Antiquila: A Feast in the Old Liguria - Evocation of the Founding of Marseille, 600 BC" takes us back to ancient times, immersing us in a momentous event. The scene depicts the arrival of Greek sailors and their integration into a grand feast organized by the head of the Nams, an influential figure in Liguria. During this significant occasion, Gyptis, daughter of the Nams, is tasked with selecting her future husband by offering him a cup. As part of this age-old tradition, she holds immense power as her choice will shape not only her own destiny but also that of a new city. Amidst an atmosphere filled with anticipation and excitement, we witness Protis emerging as Gyptis' chosen suitor. This symbolic act seals the foundation of Massilia (later known as Marseille), marking it as a city born from both Greek and Ligurian influences. The anonymous 19th-century engraving beautifully captures this pivotal moment through intricate details and masterful craftsmanship. It transports viewers to an era long past while igniting our imagination about ancient rituals and customs. Patrice Cartier's skillful preservation ensures that this historical artwork continues to inspire awe and fascination today. Through his lens, we are reminded of humanity's enduring quest for love, unity, and cultural exchange across time and space.
