EDITORS COMMENTS
Ceres, the Roman Goddess of Agriculture and Motherhood, depicted in this 18th-century print by Francesco Bartolozzi. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Ceres, known for her association with grain crops and fertility. Sitting outdoors in a picturesque Italian countryside, Ceres is portrayed alongside a group of women and children engaged in playful activities. The side view perspective allows us to appreciate the intricate details of their clothing - striped dresses that flow gracefully as they enjoy their day under the warm sun. Ceres' long blonde hair cascades down her back, adding to her ethereal beauty as she sits serenely among them. A hen and several birds surround them, symbolizing abundance and nature's harmony. This portrayal highlights the deep connection between humans and their environment during ancient times when agriculture was central to survival. Bartolozzi's engraving technique brings depth to each figure, emphasizing their individuality while also capturing a sense of unity within this rural community. The print transports us back to an era where religious beliefs intertwined seamlessly with daily life. Originally featured in 'The Connoisseur' magazine from 1915, this print serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and historical significance. It offers viewers a glimpse into centuries past when deities like Ceres were revered for their role in sustaining humanity through bountiful harvests.
