EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print captures the intriguing scene of women making offerings to Priape, the Asian god of fertility and abundance, who found his way to Greece. The site of worship depicted here is Lampsaque, a place where devotees sought blessings for their reproductive endeavors. In this image, we see a diverse group of women engaging in various acts of devotion. A young girl holds a drum, perhaps creating rhythmic music to honor the deity. A pregnant woman stands nearby, symbolizing the hope for future generations. Flowers are scattered around as symbols of beauty and growth. The atmosphere is charged with an air of sensuality and spirituality. Blood-red hues dominate the composition, representing both passion and sacrifice offered by these worshippers. The presence of Venus Aphrodite further emphasizes themes related to love and desire. A goat can be seen in the background, alluding to ancient rituals involving animal sacrifices as part of religious ceremonies. A tambourine player adds musical accompaniment while a flute player fills the air with enchanting melodies. This engraving by an unknown artist showcases not only human devotion but also highlights how different cultures merge through religious practices. It serves as a testament to our collective fascination with fertility rites throughout history. Leonard de Selva's masterful photography brings this historical artwork back into focus, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and cultural significance once again.
