"Foretold: A Glimpse into the Tapestry of Fate" In the intricate web of time, destiny weaves its threads, leaving behind whispers and omens that foretell events yet to unfold. From Ivan's tragic demise to Saul's dethronement, from Samson's miraculous birth to Eli's impending fall, these tales echo with prophecies etched in history. Carlos Manuel Endara, a witness to the birth of The Republic, captures the weight of foresight in his artistry. His engravings immortalize moments when fate whispered its secrets - like an old Lourpidon hag predicting a kingdom restored at the coming of Cocklicranes or Samuel receiving divine revelation about Eli's downfall. The destruction of Jerusalem stands as a vivid reminder that even great cities are not immune to predestined ruin. Coloured engravings depict this fateful event, serving as a haunting testament to what was once foreseen. Within shadows and light lies another dimension where betrayal finds solace. In black and white photographs capturing places where treachery was prophesied, one can almost feel the lingering presence of those who knew their fate before it unfolded. But prophecies are not confined solely to tragedy; they also dance on the edge of hope and joy. H. M Batema unveils a clairvoyante who defied convention by foreseeing her own marriage - an enchanting tale that reminds us how love can transcend all boundaries. Beyond mortal realms lie myths and legends intertwined with divination. Jezebel defenestrated underlines how prophecy can shape destinies even for those entangled in power struggles. Meanwhile, Cumaean Sibyl gazes into eternity through November 1st etchings – her visions transcending time itself. And amidst exploration and discovery comes Columbus' encounter with astonished Indians witnessing an eclipse he had foreseen - reminding us that even the stars themselves whisper secrets to those who dare to listen.
