EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving by an unknown artist depicts a dramatic scene at Stonehenge, showcasing the clash between ancient traditions and the might of the Roman Empire. In this vividly colored print, we witness druids engaged in a human sacrifice ritual being abruptly interrupted by Roman soldiers. The image captures the violence and intensity of the moment, as both sides confront each other amidst the mystical stones of Stonehenge. The druids, adorned in traditional Celtic attire, are frozen in shock and disbelief at their disrupted ceremony. Meanwhile, the disciplined Roman soldiers stand firm with their weapons drawn, determined to put an end to this ancient custom. This artwork offers a glimpse into a significant historical period when cultures clashed and traditions were challenged. It highlights how different customs collided during that time - from the sacred rituals practiced by indigenous Britons to the imposing presence of Roman conquerors. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful coloring enhances every detail of this engraving, bringing it to life for modern viewers. Through his artistry, we are transported back in time to witness this pivotal moment where two worlds collide – one steeped in tradition and spirituality while another driven by power and conquest. This thought-provoking piece serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to reflect on how history has shaped our present-day society.
