EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of the Goddess of Bakery, Vesta, from Roman mythology. Vesta is revered as the virgin goddess who presides over the hearth, home, and family in ancient Roman religion. As the deity associated with the hearth fire, she holds a special place in the hearts of bakers, making her their patron goddess. In this artwork, Vesta's connection to baking is beautifully depicted through subtle symbolism. The presence of an ass signifies its traditional role in turning millstones used for grinding grains into flour—a vital ingredient for baking. Additionally, her association with Fornax—the spirit of the baker's oven—further emphasizes her significance within bakery culture. This particular print originates from my personal archives and is an original edition dating back to 1857. It was sourced from Magasin Pittoresque—an esteemed publication renowned for its artistic representations during that era. The artist behind this stunning portrayal skillfully captures Vesta's divine essence while incorporating elements such as Cacus and Caca—primitive fire deities allied with her—to enhance the overall composition
