EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Faunus, Roman god of the forest, plains and fields" takes us back to ancient Rome. Created by Pieter Bodart in 1733, this print showcases the divine figure of Faunus, a deity associated with nature and fertility. In this portrait, Faunus is depicted as a powerful yet gentle mythological character. His presence exudes an air of tranquility and wisdom as he stands amidst lush foliage. As the Roman god of the forest, plains, and fields, Faunus held great influence over agricultural abundance and animal fertility. The intricate details captured by Bodart's copperplate engraving highlight both the beauty of nature surrounding Faunus and his own divine essence. The artist skillfully brings out every line on his face and every fold in his flowing robes. It is worth noting that Faunus was also known as Inuus when he bestowed fertility upon cattle. This connection to Greek mythology further emphasizes his importance within ancient pantheons. This remarkable artwork originates from Henricus Spoors' publication "Deorum et Heroum" in 1715. Spoors himself was a Dutch physician who had a deep appreciation for classical culture. As we gaze upon this enchanting portrayal of Faunus today, we are reminded not only of the rich history behind it but also of humanity's enduring fascination with mythological figures like him – symbols that represent our relationship with nature and our desire for prosperity.
