EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait on the marble lid of a Roman sarcophagus, dating back to the 1st century BC. The artifact is currently housed in the National Museums collection in Rome, Italy. The portrait depicts a young male figure, possibly a boy, semi-dressed and barechested. His striking features are meticulously carved into the smooth marble surface, capturing his essence for eternity. This ancient artwork serves as an evocative reminder of life's transience and the concept of death prevalent during that era. The Via Laurentina in Rome was once home to this magnificent sarcophagus before it found its way into the esteemed National Museums collection. Its vibrant colors have withstood the test of time, offering us glimpses into ancient Roman aesthetics and artistic techniques. Mike Dixon's expert photography beautifully captures every intricate detail of this extraordinary object from antiquity. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only its historical significance but also its undeniable artistic value. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back to an era long gone but forever preserved within these hallowed museum walls. It serves as a testament to human creativity and our eternal fascination with preserving memories through artistry – even thousands of years after their creation.
