EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a fascinating encounter between a Gallic druid and a little girl. The image, captured by the talented artist Job in 1896, showcases the rich history of France through its depiction of ancient traditions. Perched high up on an oak tree, the druid is seen carefully picking mistletoe with his serpe, a traditional tool used for cutting. However, his task takes an unexpected turn when he discovers the presence of a curious little girl amidst the branches. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of childhood curiosity and innocence as the young girl gazes at the druid with wonderment. It is evident that she has stumbled upon something extraordinary - witnessing firsthand an age-old ritual that holds deep significance in Gaulish culture. This enchanting scene serves as a reminder of our connection to history and how it shapes our present. The image not only highlights the importance of nature and its role in ancient rituals but also emphasizes cultural heritage and tradition. Preserved within a private collection since its creation over a century ago, this remarkable piece by Stefano Bianchetti invites us to reflect on our roots while appreciating timeless artistry.
