EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Superstitions (Fear) of the Year Thousand: The End of the World" takes us back to a time when anxieties about the apocalypse ran high. Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection and was featured in Maurice Lachatre's book "Histoire des Papes-Rois-Queen and Empereurs a travers les centuries" published in 1863. Intriguingly, it depicts people from the Middle Ages during the year 1000, gripped with fear and superstition as they believed that their world was coming to an end. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of how deeply rooted these concerns were in society at that time. The artist skillfully captures the atmosphere of dread through intricate details such as worried expressions on faces, huddled groups seeking solace, and religious symbols scattered throughout. It transports viewers into this tumultuous period where uncertainty loomed large. "The Superstitions (Fear) of the Year Thousand: The End of the World" sheds light on humanity's enduring fascination with apocalyptic prophecies and our collective struggle to make sense of uncertain times. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, it prompts us to reflect on our own fears and beliefs while appreciating how far we have come since those medieval days. © Giancarlo Costa
