EDITORS COMMENTS
Sibylla Hellespontina, a prophetess of ancient mythology, is depicted in this 1625 woodcut print by Jacques Stella. The image captures the enigmatic figure seated in a serene natural setting, surrounded by lush vegetation and a tranquil body of water. The Sibyl of Hellespont, also known as the Sibyl of the Sea, was believed to possess the power to foretell the future and was revered in ancient Greek and Roman religions. Jacques Stella, a prominent French Baroque artist, masterfully portrays Sibylla Hellespontina in this monochrome print. The use of stark contrasts between white and black creates an intriguing visual effect, enhancing the mystical aura surrounding the figure. The intricate details of the Sibyl's flowing robes, the delicate folds of her veil, and the intricate patterns of the plants and foliage add to the overall beauty and allure of the print. This woodcut print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 17th century and the enduring influence of mythology and religion on European art. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to house this rare and captivating work by Jacques Stella, allowing visitors to appreciate the masterful use of line, form, and contrast in this stunning print.
