EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Votive stele from the Gallo-Roman civilization, dating back to the 2nd century A. D. The intricate carving depicts an awe-inspiring scene featuring three prominent figures - Celtic god Cernunnos, Apollo, and Mercury. In this ancient artwork, we see Cernunnos seated in a cross-legged position at full length. His presence is both powerful and enigmatic as he sits between the two Roman gods. Apollo stands tall with his characteristic grace and radiance, while Mercury assumes a standing posture beside him. The bas relief sculpture is meticulously crafted out of stone, showcasing the exceptional skill of its creator. Its horizontal composition allows for a comprehensive view of each figure's distinct features and attributes. This piece of art offers us insight into the rich cultural exchange between Celtic beliefs and Roman mythology during this period in history. It serves as a testament to the blending of different civilizations and their shared artistic expressions. With its male likenesses portrayed in semi-dress attire, this votive stele provides an intriguing glimpse into human representation within ancient cultures. This particular artifact hails from Reims (France), adding another layer of historical significance to its already fascinating narrative. As we admire this full-frame photograph captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and complexity inherent in ancient art forms like these votive steles – tangible remnants that connect us with our ancestors' beliefs and aspirations.
