EDITORS COMMENTS
Sibylla Libyca," a captivating woodcut print created by the renowned French Baroque artist Jacques Stella in 1625, showcases the enigmatic figure of the Libyan Sibyl, a prophetess from ancient mythology. The monochrome image, now housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., transports us back to the seventeenth century and invites us to explore the rich heritage of European art. The print depicts the Sibyl, dressed in a flowing robe, seated among lush vegetation and surrounded by various plants and a tree, believed to symbolize the sacred grove of the goddess Diana. With her right hand, she holds a pomegranate, a fruit associated with fertility and the cycle of life, while her left hand rests on a scroll, signifying the prophetic wisdom she imparts. Jacques Stella, a prominent artist of the Baroque era, masterfully captures the essence of the Sibyl's mystical and prophetic nature. The intricate details of the plants and the delicate lines of the Sibyl's features reveal Stella's exceptional skill in woodcut technique. The image of Sibylla Libyca is a testament to the enduring allure of mythology and the power of art to transport us to another time and place. This print, with its intricate details and rich symbolism, continues to captivate and inspire art lovers and scholars alike, making it an invaluable addition to the National Gallery of Art's collection.
