The main world religions, c1723, (1908). Creator: Unknown
The main world religions, c1723, (1908). Representation of the main religions of the world: in the foreground, group of Muslim men with prayer beads, one standing and preaching, another holds a list of the Seven Pillars of Islam, while sinners burn in Hell behind; the Roman Catholic Church, represented by a female figure wearing a papal tiara trampling a rabbi underfoot - the rabbi is holding a parchment with hebraic inscription; an old woman with crown of thorns, personifying Superstition, grabs the Victory from the female figure in armour representing Ancient Rome; on the left Christian religion personified stands under a tree with an open Bible which a Franciscan monk is trying to close; in front of them, a priest baptises a woman; scenes of pagan cults in the distance. Frontispiece to " Ceremonies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde", (Religious Ceremonies and Customs of All the Peoples of the World), by Jean-Frederic Bernard, illustrated by Bernard Picart. Although Picart never left Europe, he relied on accounts by those who had. The book marked a major turning point in European attitudes toward religious belief and hence the sacred. [Amsterdam, 1723-1737]. From " La Revue De L Art - Ancien et Moderne" - Volume XXIV, July-December 1908, [Paris, 1908]
