EDITORS COMMENTS
Sibylla Delphica, a captivating woodcut print from the 17th century by Jacques Stella, showcases the enigmatic figure of the Sibyl Delphica, a prophetess renowned for her divine connection to Apollo and the future. This evocative image, created in 1625, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France during the Baroque era. The print, now housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., depicts the Sibyl in a seated position, her regal demeanor exuding an air of wisdom and authority. She is adorned in flowing robes, her long, curly hair cascading down her shoulders. In her right hand, she holds a scroll, symbolizing the prophecies she delivers, while her left hand rests on a book, representing the sacred texts of her faith. The intricate details of the woodcut technique bring the image to life, with the delicate lines and shading creating a striking contrast between the light and dark areas. The monochrome palette, consisting of black and white, adds to the print's dramatic effect, enhancing the sense of mystery and otherworldliness. The Sibyl's crown of thorns, a symbol of her connection to Christianity, further emphasizes the religious undertones of the print. The mythological and religious themes intertwine, reflecting the complex and multifaceted nature of belief systems during this period. This work of art, a masterpiece by Jacques Stella, invites viewers to delve into the depths of mythology and religion, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the 17th century.
