EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Engraving depicting Velleda, prophetess of the saplings" transports us back to ancient Gaulish times. Created by Edouard Fournier in 1887 and beautifully reproduced by Stefano Bianchetti, it showcases a woman named Velleda who was revered as a prophetess. In this poignant scene, we see Velleda portrayed with utmost grace and dignity despite her misfortune. She stands within the confines of a jail cell, symbolizing her imprisonment. The artist skillfully captures her sadness and introspection through delicate lines and intricate details. Velleda's significance lies in her ability to foresee the future through divination using sacred trees known as saplings. As she gazes into the distance with an air of wisdom, one can almost feel the weight of her prophetic powers emanating from within. This engraving not only serves as a historical representation but also evokes emotions that transcend time. It reminds us of the strength found even in moments of vulnerability and captivity. Through artistry and storytelling, Fournier immortalizes Velleda's legacy as an influential figure in French history. As we admire this print from our private collection today, let us reflect on the power of foresight and resilience embodied by individuals like Velleda throughout history.
