EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable depiction of a Celtic deity, dating back to the 1st century. The artwork features a majestic bull accompanied by three elegant cranes, symbolizing the harmonious connection between nature and spirituality. This particular representation was discovered on the Pillar of the Boatman at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and is now part of Musee de Cluny's esteemed collection. The vibrant colors captured in this image bring life to the ancient artifact, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details. The bull, revered as a powerful symbol in Celtic mythology, exudes strength and grace while embodying divine qualities. Its presence alongside three graceful cranes suggests an association with wisdom and transcendence. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back through time to witness an era where religion played a significant role in people's lives. The Pillar of the Boatman served as both a religious monument and navigational aid for those traveling along the Seine River. Through this image, we can explore not only the rich heritage of Celtic culture but also admire how art has transcended centuries to provide us with glimpses into our ancestors' beliefs and traditions. It serves as a reminder that even today, within Notre Dame Cathedral's hallowed walls, echoes of ancient faiths continue to resonate alongside modern Christianity.
