EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Roman Family on a grave-slab, housed in the esteemed Terme Museum in Rome, Italy. The bas-reliefs depicted on this ancient slab beautifully convey the deep yearning for reunion in the afterlife that was prevalent among Roman families during this era. Rather than emphasizing collective burial, these intricate carvings symbolize the strong desire to be reunited with loved ones beyond death's threshold. The image captures a poignant scene of family unity and love. A father stands proudly at the center, surrounded by his wife and their two young sons. Each member of the family is portrayed with great detail and emotion, reflecting their unique personalities and roles within this tight-knit unit. The vibrant colors bring life to this centuries-old artwork, allowing us to connect with these individuals from another time. It serves as a powerful reminder that concepts such as fatherhood, motherhood, parenting, and familial bonds transcend time and culture. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved at Terme Museum, we are reminded of our own mortality and the universal longing for connection even beyond death's embrace. This photograph by CM Dixon offers us an intimate glimpse into Roman society while also inviting contemplation about our own relationships with those we hold dear.
