EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Festival of St Antony at the Chapel of San Antonio, Tenerife" takes us back to a vibrant celebration in 19th century Spain. Created by Amedee Forestier and published in The Illustrated London News in 1890, this print captures the essence of a traditional festival held on the beautiful island of Tenerife. The scene is set against the backdrop of an ornate chapel dedicated to St Antony, one of the most revered saints in Spanish culture. Colorful banners flutter in the breeze as locals gather for this annual event. Horses adorned with elaborate costumes prance gracefully through the streets, their riders proudly displaying their equestrian skills. The Festival of St Antony is steeped in religious significance and folklore. It is believed that invoking his blessings can protect animals from harm and ensure bountiful harvests. As such, farmers bring their livestock to be blessed by priests during this festive occasion. The energy and excitement are palpable as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate their shared heritage. This engraving offers a glimpse into a bygone era when traditions were cherished and community bonds were strengthened through cultural festivities. Through Forestier's skilled hand, we are transported to a time when faith intertwined seamlessly with everyday life. This enchanting image serves as both a historical record and an invitation to immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of European traditions that continue to shape our world today.
