EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable sculpture of Cernunnos, the Celtic Horned God from the Pillar of the Boatmen of Paris. Constructed by Gaulish sailors during AD 14-37, this ancient artifact was discovered in 1710 within the foundations of Notre-Dame de Paris, a site steeped in history as it was once Lutetia, the civitas capital of the Celtic Parisii. Now proudly displayed at Musee National du Moyen Age in Paris, this bas relief sculpture is a testament to both religious and artistic excellence. The image captures Cernunnos with his majestic horns symbolizing power and fertility while embodying an enigmatic aura that has fascinated scholars for centuries. The stone carving reflects a fusion between Celtic beliefs and early Christian influences prevalent during that era. This juxtaposition adds depth to our understanding of cultural evolution and spiritual practices in France. Photographed with meticulous precision by CM Dixon, this studio shot allows us to appreciate every intricate detail etched into this historic object. Its vibrant colors bring life to Cernunnos' divine presence while highlighting its significance as a significant deity within Celtic mythology. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring artwork, we are transported back through time to witness Gaulish craftsmanship at its finest. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also how art can transcend generations and continue to inspire awe even today.
