EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "STRUFERTARI (fete in ancient Rome to purify the blasted trees)" takes us back to the late Roman Empire. The image depicts a fascinating ritual known as Strufertari, which was performed to cleanse and restore life to trees struck by lightning or affected by natural elements. In this scene, we see a group of people gathered around a tree trunk that has been damaged. They stand before an altar adorned with symbols of faith and belief. The atmosphere is filled with both anticipation and reverence as they prepare for the ceremony. The engraver skillfully captures the intricate details of each figure, showcasing their elaborate costumes and expressions of devotion. The artist's use of shading adds depth to the composition, enhancing our connection with this ancient tradition. This print not only offers us a glimpse into the superstitions prevalent in ancient Rome but also highlights humanity's deep-rooted relationship with nature. It reminds us that throughout history, civilizations have sought solace in rituals like these when faced with forces beyond their control. As we observe this moment frozen in time, we are transported back centuries ago and invited to contemplate our own beliefs about nature's power and our place within it. This artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity in finding ways to connect with something greater than ourselves – be it through science or faith – even amidst uncertainty.
