EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving by Albert Robida depicts a Druid carrying out a human sacrifice, a chilling scene from ancient history. The detail in the illustration is both captivating and disturbing, as the priest raises his knife above the victim lying before him. The intensity of the moment is palpable, capturing the gravity of this ritualistic act.
The image comes from Histoire de France Tintamarresque, a satirical work by Touchatout that delves into French history with a touch of humor and irony. In this particular drawing, however, there is no room for levity as we witness the solemnity of religious practice mixed with an air of foreboding.
As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to Roman Gaul where Celtic traditions held sway over society. The Druids were revered figures who acted as intermediaries between humans and gods, their rituals often shrouded in mystery and awe.
Robida's skillful engraving brings to life a moment frozen in time, inviting us to contemplate the complexities of belief systems and cultural practices long past. It serves as a stark reminder of humanity's capacity for both reverence and cruelty, encapsulated in one powerful image.
