EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sun Worship by native indians of North America," offers a glimpse into the spiritual practices of indigenous peoples in the 18th century. Created by Bernard Picart in 1723 as part of his work on religious ceremonies and customs around the world, this image showcases a group of Native Americans engaging in a ritualistic form of worship towards the sun.
The intricate details captured in this print highlight the reverence and connection these individuals had with nature and celestial bodies. The figures are depicted in prayerful poses, surrounded by totems and symbols representing their beliefs and traditions. The central focus on the sun symbolizes its importance as a source of life, energy, and spirituality for these communities.
Through this artwork, we are invited to reflect on the diverse cultural practices that have shaped human history and our understanding of the universe. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and wisdom passed down through generations by indigenous peoples across North America.
As we admire this piece, let us honor and respect the traditions and knowledge preserved by Native American communities throughout time. May it inspire us to appreciate the interconnectedness between humanity, nature, and cosmic forces beyond our control.
