EDITORS COMMENTS
Sibylla Erythraea, a Prophetess of Ancient Mythology, as Depicted by Jacques Stella in 1625 This 1625 woodcut print, titled "Sibylla Erythraea," is an enchanting work of art created by the renowned French artist Jacques Stella during the Baroque era. The image, a testament to the monochrome aesthetic of the time, showcases the enigmatic figure of the Erythraean Sibyl, a prophetess from ancient mythology. Seated before a rocky, barren landscape, the Sibyl is depicted with an air of wisdom and serenity. Her long, flowing white robes are adorned with intricate patterns, while her headdress, or headdresses, are a striking combination of a lamb and a sheep, symbolizing the duality of her divine and earthly nature. Her face, framed by a veil, exudes an aura of mystery and otherworldliness. The print, now housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France during the seventeenth century. The intricate details of the woodcut technique, with its precise lines and shading, bring the figure of the Sibyl to life, transporting us back in time to an era of mythology, prophecy, and artistic mastery. Jacques Stella, a prominent figure in the French art scene, is known for his innovative use of light and shadow, as well as his exploration of the themes of mythology and the natural world. This woodcut print, with its striking imagery and masterful execution, is a prime example of his artistic prowess and his contribution to the Baroque tradition.
