EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of the druidess Veleda" created by renowned French sculptor Hippolyte Maindron. The engraving, dating back to the 19th century, beautifully captures this historical masterpiece that resides in a private collection. Veleda, an enigmatic figure from ancient history, was a revered druidess and priestess during Julius Caesar's time. This statue portrays her as a symbol of power and wisdom within the Roman Empire. With intricate details meticulously carved into stone, it is evident that Maindron sought to immortalize Veleda's significance in both religion and art. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking sculpture, we are transported back to 1st-century France where Gaulish tribes thrived alongside their Roman conquerors. Veleda's contemplative expression evokes curiosity about her prophetic abilities and connection with nature. The sickle held firmly in her hand represents not only her role as a spiritual guide but also alludes to agricultural practices prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of the symbiotic relationship between humans and their environment. This photograph has been digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity while preserving its historical essence. Through this image, we catch a glimpse of French culture intertwined with Germanic influences during an era when religion played an integral part in society. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' meticulous preservation efforts, viewers can appreciate this remarkable artwork for generations to come without commercial use overshadowing its true
