EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century print depicts the momentous meeting between the Tiburtine Sibyl and Caesar Augustus, where she foretells the coming of Jesus Christ. The image showcases a grand building in Rome, symbolizing power and authority, while both men are adorned in regal robes befitting their status. Caesar Augustus wears a laurel wreath on his head, signifying victory and triumph. The prophecy takes center stage as the female prophetess stands before the emperor, her expression filled with divine knowledge. Her presence exudes wisdom and foresight as she delivers her message about the arrival of Jesus to bring salvation to mankind. This encounter bridges two worlds - that of ancient Rome and Christianity. The inclusion of Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus further emphasizes this significant event. Clad in vibrant colors, they represent purity and holiness amidst a world steeped in political power struggles. The print captures a pivotal moment where religion intersects with politics, highlighting how faith can shape history. Created by an unknown artist during the 16th century in Italy, this chromolithograph offers us a glimpse into religious beliefs during that time period. It serves as a reminder of our shared human desire for guidance and hope from higher powers. This historical artwork is part of Ann Ronan Pictures' collection and showcases not only artistic skill but also cultural significance through its portrayal of key figures such as Caesar Augustus, Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary – all central to Roman history and Christian theology alike.
