EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century engraving depicts the revered cult image known as the palladium or palladion from Greek and Roman mythology. The safety of Troy and later Rome was believed to depend on this wooden statue of Pallas Athena, which Odysseus and Diomedes famously stole from Troy. According to legend, Aeneas then took the sacred statue to the future site of Rome.
The intricate details in this engraving bring to life the devotion and piety of worshippers towards this significant artifact. Created by Michel de Marolles, a French churchman and translator, this piece is part of his work 'Tableaux du temple des muses' (1655).
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece and Rome, where myths and legends intertwined with reality. The symbolism behind the palladium represents not only religious beliefs but also political power and protection for these ancient civilizations.
Through this print, we can appreciate the artistry of both the original sculpture itself as well as Marolles' interpretation through his engravings. It serves as a reminder of how art has always played a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage and storytelling throughout history.
