Folgorante tramonto di luglio.

Blazing July sunset.

C'è uno stupore d'infanzia e una purezza di cuore nel contemplare ciò che ci sovrasta.

There is an awe of childhood and a purity of heart in contemplating what is above us.

Alice Maher at Kevin Kavanagh

Tonight, I attended the opening of Alice Maher's exhibition 'The Sibyls' at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8. The venue was packed. Loved the detailed drawing of hair in all of Alice's drawings.

The Sibyls were women who lived apart from society in ancient times. Many believed that these women could foretell the future.

Alice's exhibition will run until 11th Oct 2025.

My favourite drawing is 'Sibyl III' because it appears different from the others. The nude figure is bent under her nest of hair instead of balanced on top of it.

The Persian SIBYL, also called the Chaldean or Hebrew Sibyl, or by her proper name Sambetha, was born at the Red Sea. Her father was Berossus and her mother was Erymanthe. She wrote 84 books, and prophesied of Christ countless times. The other Sibyls agreed with her, but everyone says she was the first.

Nicanor, who wrote the Deeds of Alexander the Great, recalled her. See Lactantius, The Divine Institutes, book 1, ch. 6; and Augustine, The City of God, book 18, ch. 23. This prophecy is attributed to this Sibyl:

Behold, O beast, you will be trampled, and a lord will be born on the earth, and the womb of a virgin will be the salvation of the nations, and her feet will be for the health of mankind, and the invisible word will be made plain.
