Achille Barbarian Bertarelli Bovine Civica Delle Engravings Fires Invasions Milan Raccolta Rite Sacrifice Stampe
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative engraving captures the intense moment of a sacred rite during ancient Rome's tumultuous encounters with barbarian invasions. The Old German people, huddled around a blazing fire, are shown offering a bovine sacrifice to their gods, seeking protection and favor in the face of imminent danger. The smoke from the fires rises into the sky, symbolizing their desperate pleas for divine intervention. The print, part of the Achille Bertarelli collection housed in Milan's Civica Raccolta delle Stampe (Civic Collection of Prints), offers a glimpse into the complex interplay between religion and warfare during the fall of the Roman Empire. The image underscores the profound belief in the power of the gods to influence the outcome of battles and the deep-rooted commitment of ancient cultures to their religious practices, even in the most trying of times. The intricate details of the engraving, from the expressive faces of the worshippers to the intricate patterns on their clothing, reveal the masterful artistry of the engraver. This powerful and poignant image serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the enduring role of faith in times of crisis.
