About the Item
In this painting Stefanelli conveys the intrigue and mystery of oracles, who were offering counsel through prophecies and divination in the ancient times. Wise and insightful, oracles played an instrumental role in the development of society in classical antiquity. The leaflike elements in the center left indicate nature, another vital component of life in the early days. Blue and yellow rectangular shapes of the background present a contrived essence, while the orange rugged shapes with uneven edges convey a more spontaneous and energetic presence. Stefanelli succeeds in capturing the ambivalence of what an oracle may project.
