EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Tomb of the Virgin Mary in Gethsemane, a significant site in Christian tradition located at the foot of Mount Olives in Jerusalem. The image, created by Carocci after Giulio Ferrario in his "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1833, offers a glimpse into the historical and religious significance of this site during the 1800s. The Tomb of the Virgin Mary is believed to be the place where Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent her final days. Surrounded by lush vegetation and ancient olive trees, the tomb is situated in a serene and picturesque setting. In this illustration, we see the tomb itself, adorned with intricate carvings and surrounded by prophets and judges from the Old Testament, including Haggai, Zechariah, and Malach. These figures represent the continuity of God's promise to Israel and the connection between the Old and New Testaments. The Mount of Olives looms in the background, adding to the sacredness of the scene. The peaceful atmosphere is further emphasized by the tranquil waters of the Kidron Valley, which flows gently in the foreground. The intricate details of the engraving, from the intricately carved sepulchres to the traditional garments of the figures, offer a glimpse into the historical and cultural context of the time. This beautiful illustration not only showcases the artistic skill of the engraver but also highlights the rich history and religious significance of the Tomb of the Virgin Mary in Gethsemane. It serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the past and the present, and the enduring importance of faith and tradition.
