EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from the 19th century depicts a momentous scene from Zoroastrian mythology. In the print, Zarathustra, also known as Zarathushtra or Zoroastra, is guided by an Archangel as he descends from his mountain retreat to deliver the tables of law received from Ahura Mazda (Ormuz) to humanity. Accompanying him on this divine mission are a group of animals chosen to be his loyal companions. The artist skillfully captures the spiritual significance of this event through vibrant colors and intricate details. The majestic raptor soaring above symbolizes strength and wisdom, while the regal eagle represents courage and vision. Walking alongside them is a mighty brown bear, embodying power and protection. As Zarathustra makes his way down towards mankind, it becomes evident that these animals are not mere creatures but sacred beings entrusted with an important role in carrying out divine will. They form a harmonious connection between heaven and earth, bridging the gap between mortal existence and celestial realms. This chromolithograph serves as a visual testament to the profound influence of religion on art during the 19th century. It encapsulates themes of faith, spirituality, and reverence for nature that continue to resonate with viewers today. Giancarlo Costa's masterful execution ensures that this piece remains timeless in its ability to inspire awe and contemplation about our place in the grand tapestry of creation.
