EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sibyl, an oracle or prophetess, ancient Rome" takes us back to the ancient world of Rome. Created in 1796 by Labrousse, L. F. , this print showcases a woman known as Sibyl, who was revered as an oracle and prophetess during that time. Dressed in a palla or shawl and stola, Sibyl holds a book resembling the Tiburtine Sibyl or Albunae. Her attire reflects the fashion of Roman society during this period. The hand-colored copperplate engraving adds depth and vibrancy to her image. The artist Labrousse worked under the guidance of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur for his publication on Ancient Rome. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available through Fine Art Finder. As we gaze at this artwork, we are transported into a world filled with clairvoyance and prediction. We can almost feel the weight of history and religion intertwined within its intricate details. This engraving not only captures the essence of Sibyl's role in Roman society but also provides insight into their beliefs and customs during that era. It serves as a reminder of how our understanding of history is shaped by art forms like engravings which bring these stories to life for generations to come.
