EDITORS COMMENTS
The Druids - Bringing in the Mistletoe, 1890" is a captivating oil painting that transports us to a mystical world of ancient rituals and Celtic traditions. The artwork, created by Henry George and Edward A. Hornel, measures an impressive 152.4x152.4 cm and is housed in the Art Gallery and Museum in Kelvingrove, Glasgow. In this enchanting scene, we witness a gathering of druids as they partake in the sacred act of bringing in the mistletoe. Cloaked figures emerge from a snowy landscape, their presence shrouded in mystery and symbolism. The mistletoe holds great significance for these druids; it is both a sacred plant with medicinal properties and a symbol of fertility. The painting exudes an ethereal atmosphere as golden boughs are carried through the air by oxen-led carts while accompanied by a solemn procession of druids. The Glasgow Boys' attention to detail brings every element to life – from the intricate patterns on their cloaks to the delicate snowflakes falling gently around them. With its rich colors and Symbolist style, "The Druids - Bringing in the Mistletoe" invites viewers into an otherworldly realm where ancient customs blend seamlessly with nature's beauty. It serves as a reminder of our connection to history and our reverence for age-old traditions that continue to shape our present-day celebrations.
