EDITORS COMMENTS
Sibylla Samia, 1625: A Vision of Prophecy by Jacques Stella This woodcut print, created by the renowned French Baroque artist Jacques Stella in 1625, showcases the enigmatic figure of Sibylla Samia, a prophetess from Samos in ancient mythology. Seated before a table laden with wheat, Sibylla gazes intently into the distance, her expression a blend of deep concentration and profound wisdom. The black and white composition, a characteristic of the monochrome palette popular during the Baroque era, adds an air of mystery and timelessness to the image. Stella masterfully employs contrasting shades to highlight the intricate details of Sibylla's flowing robes, the delicate folds of which reveal her regal posture. The prophetess, often depicted as a symbol of divine inspiration, is shown here in the midst of receiving a divine revelation. The wheat, a common symbol of abundance and fertility, serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life and the power of nature to nurture and sustain. This exquisite woodcut print, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to Jacques Stella's artistic mastery and his ability to capture the essence of mythological figures and their stories. The image invites us to ponder the mysteries of the past and the enduring power of art to transport us to other worlds and times.
