"Cernunnos" (2003) is a colored pencil drawing by Prague artist Marie Brožová. Created in her atelier, the original artwork is an A3-format piece, measuring 42 × 29.7 cm (16.5 × 11.7 inches). This image is featured in the Celtic Year series.
The Story Behind the Art
This powerful artwork brings to life the ancient Celtic god Cernunnos, revered as the Lord of the Wildwood, guardian of the underworld, and a potent deity of fertility and nature. His name translates to "The Antlered One." In traditional Celtic lore, he is often depicted alongside a horned serpent, a sacred symbol of the earth's deepest, primal energies.
While later traditions adapted his striking imagery to depict the devil—transforming the rich concept of the underworld into a fearful realm of hell—the Celts held a much more balanced view. They did not categorize natural forces as strictly good or evil, but simply as raw power. Like a potent substance that acts as a healing medicine in small doses and a poison in larger ones, the essence remains the same—it is all about how we channel it.
Hidden Details to Discover
The mystical legacy of Cernunnos did not vanish with the ancient Celts. His spirit has lived on folklore through the centuries, most notably inspiring the mysterious figure of Herne the Hunter from the legendary tales of Robin Hood.
