EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, immersing us in a scene of divination from Olaus Magnus' renowned work, Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus. Published in Rome in 1555, this woodcut illustration showcases the intricate artistry of the Italian School. In this mystical depiction, we witness a seated Scandinavian diviner surrounded by symbols of power and wisdom. The diviner's piercing gaze is fixed upon an array of fish swimming within a volcanic landscape, suggesting that he is foretelling the future through their movements. A sceptre rests beside him as a symbol of his authority and knowledge. Above him shines a radiant star amidst swirling smoke, signifying celestial guidance and cosmic forces at play. Adorned with a majestic crown atop his head, he exudes regal elegance while embodying the essence of Norse mythology. The artist skillfully captures both the ethereal nature of divination and its connection to wildlife. The presence of animals throughout the composition adds an element of natural mysticism to this ancient practice. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork held at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we are transported to another era where kings sought divine insight for their kingdoms' futures. This image serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with unlocking secrets hidden within nature itself - an eternal quest for understanding our destiny.
