EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Mithra sacrificing a Bull" takes us back to ancient Rome, offering a glimpse into the fascinating rituals and beliefs of that time. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Mithraism, a mystery religion practiced during the Roman Empire. In this scene, we witness Mithras, the central deity of this cult, performing a sacred act: sacrificing a bull. The composition is rich with symbolism as Mithras stands tall and powerful above the bull, his face serene yet determined. The intricate details of their attire and expressions bring life to this historical moment frozen in time. The image originates from Victor Duruy's "History of Rome" published in 1884. This particular print has been digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity while preserving its authenticity. It now resides within a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its cultural significance. As we delve into ancient Roman history through this artwork, we are reminded of how art can transport us across centuries and continents. It serves as both an educational tool and an aesthetic delight for those who appreciate the beauty found within historical narratives.
