EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Man and Woman Sacrificing a Goat" takes us back to the 16th century. Created by an unknown artist, it showcases a significant moment in history. The image depicts a man and woman engaged in the solemn act of sacrificing a goat. The couple is captured in exquisite detail as they carry out this ritualistic ceremony. The man carries the sacrificial animal on his head while the woman holds an apple, symbolizing fertility or perhaps an offering to appease higher powers. Set against a rural backdrop, this scene provides insight into domestic life during that era. It highlights the importance of religious practices within households and their connection to nature. Although attributed to Enea Vico at one point, it is now believed that Battista Franco was responsible for this remarkable engraving. Its inclusion in Philippe Thomassin's series "Ex Antiquis Cameorum" further adds to its historical significance. Preserved by The Met Museum, this artwork serves as a testament to Italian heritage and artistic prowess from centuries past. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and provide glimpses into cultures long gone.
