EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a colored woodcut from the 16th century, titled "King David, Solomon, Luba and Turnis" from Libro de la Sorte e de la Ventura. Created by Lorenzo Spirito and part of the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice, Italy, this artwork offers a glimpse into ancient traditions of divination. Intriguingly, the image features four prominent figures - King David, Solomon, Luba, and Turnis - each representing different aspects of guidance and wisdom. The viewer is transported to an era where individuals sought answers through fortune-telling and prophecy. The central figure is King David himself; his regal presence exudes authority as he holds a crown symbolizing power. Next to him stands Solomon with an orb symbolizing his wisdom as a ruler. On either side are Luba and Turnis; their significance lies in their roles as kings who offer guidance when chosen by readers seeking advice. This medieval manuscript provides us with a fascinating insight into how people once turned to these revered figures for direction in their lives. It reminds us that throughout history humans have sought solace in various forms of divination. As we contemplate this remarkable artwork captured by Fine Art Finder's lens, we are reminded that even centuries later it continues to captivate our imagination while preserving the rich cultural heritage of ancient practices such as fortune-telling and prophecy.
