EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1772 depicts Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and grain. Created by Pieter Bodart, this print showcases the divine figure adorned with an ear of wheat in her hair. Ceres symbolizes fertility, motherly relationships, and the abundance of crops in ancient Roman mythology. The intricate copperplate engraving is part of Henricus Spoors' collection titled "Deorum et Heroum, Virorum et Mulierum Illustrium Imagines Antiquae Illustatae" which translates to "Gods and Heroes, Men and Women Illustrated with Antique Images". Spoors was a Dutch physician, classical scholar, poet, and writer who published this work in Amsterdam in 1715. The image reflects the pagan beliefs prevalent during antiquity when polytheism was widely practiced. It offers a glimpse into ancient Greek culture as well since Ceres has roots in both Roman and Greek mythology. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their private collection through Fine Art Finder. The print captures the essence of divinity through its portrayal of Ceres as a heavenly figure embodying femininity and power. With its historical significance and artistic beauty, this engraving serves as a testament to the enduring fascination humans have had with mythological characters throughout time.
