This engraving titled "Cybele" transports us back to the 19th century, showcasing the artistic mastery of the French School. The print, now part of a private collection, is a digitally cleaned image from Albert-Levy's renowned work "Cent Tableaux de Science Pittoresque" published by Hachette in 1883. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness Cybele, the powerful mother goddess of ancient Phrygia and Rome. She stands tall in her majestic chariot pulled by fierce lions, symbolizing her dominion over nature and wild forces. Surrounding her are scientists engrossed in their studies - a testament to Cybele's association with scientific knowledge.
