EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Ancient Greece: Shrine to Apollo: The Oracle at Delphi, 1866" takes us back in time to the mystical world of ancient Greece. Created by Heinrich Leutemann in the 19th century, this piece is part of his renowned series "Pictures from Antiquity". The image transports us to the sacred shrine dedicated to Apollo at Delphi, where the famous Oracle resided. In this scene, we witness a daily life moment as priests and a woman gather around a ceramic vessel emitting smoke. This ritualistic act symbolizes their connection with the divine and their ability to receive predictions and prophecies. Leutemann's attention to detail brings this historical setting alive with vibrant colours that enhance our understanding of ancient Greek culture. From the intricate engravings on the crown worn by one of the priests to every fold in their garments, each element tells a story about everyday life during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how significant religion was in ancient Greece and how people sought guidance from oracles like those at Delphi. It serves as an intriguing glimpse into an age when divination played a crucial role in decision-making and shaping society. Stefano Bianchetti's expertise captures Leutemann's work beautifully through his careful reproduction of this engraving. Through its vivid colours and meticulous details, it allows us to appreciate both artistry and history simultaneously.
