EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1885 transports us to the mystical world of the Sami people, an indigenous population inhabiting the Nordic countries. In this image, we witness a Sami wizard engrossed in predicting the future through a unique and magical means – a drum. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of this ancient practice, showcasing both its significance and beauty. The Sami wizard sits inside his humble hut, surrounded by symbols of his craft. With intense focus, he beats upon his homemade percussion instrument, known as a magic drum or tambourine. Each rhythmic strike reverberates with power and purpose as it echoes throughout his dwelling. As we delve into this intriguing scene, we are reminded of the deep-rooted connection between music and spirituality within native cultures. The enchanting sounds produced by this percussionist serve as a conduit for divination and witchcraft - an occult science that has been passed down through generations. Through this evocative engraving, Stefano Bianchetti invites us to explore not only the daily life and habitat of these fascinating people but also their rich cultural heritage. We are transported back in time to witness firsthand how ancient traditions continue to shape their existence. This remarkable print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation - capturing forever a moment frozen in time when past meets present; where civilization intertwines with mysticism; where prediction dances harmoniously with rhythm on the beat of a sacred drum.
