"Culte: A Tapestry of Sacred Imagery Across Time and Cultures" Step into the realm of culte, where ancient rituals intertwine with religious symbolism, creating a rich tapestry that spans centuries and continents. From the great harlot of Babylon riding the seven-headed beast to angels cutting wheat while holding the devil prisoner, engraved woodwork from 1484 transports us to a world steeped in mysticism. In contrast, Les Vestales captivate our gaze with their ethereal beauty on an oil canvas from the 19th century. These priestesses embody purity and devotion as they tend to sacred fires in Rome's temples. Their presence reminds us of the enduring power of faith throughout history. Moving forward through time, we encounter Therese de Lisieux's baptismal chapel in Alencon captured through a lens in 2020. The solemnity within its walls echoes generations of believers seeking solace and spiritual connection. Journeying further still, we witness Rosary dealers amidst bustling streets in Bethlehem through an engraving by A. Sirouy. This illustration accompanies M. Lortet's work on Syria today, revealing how religion permeates everyday life even amidst political turmoil. The Sacrifice of Jeroboam to Idols takes us back to biblical times when idol worship challenged divine commandments. Solomon stands before the Ark of Alliance painted by Blaise Nicolas Le Sueur, reminding us that even kings are subject to higher powers. Venturing beyond borders, Ancient Greece comes alive with ritual bull sacrifices depicted vividly against a backdrop of regal ruins. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern art showcases intricate plaques depicting mihrabs - prayer niches symbolizing unity between worshippers and Allah. A change in scenery reveals a romantic landscape adorned with ancient ruins where Galante Venus is offered homage - love entwined with spirituality transcending time itself. Lastly, King Louis VI leads his people alongside Bishop Etienne, illustrating the inseparable bond between religion and governance.
