EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Portico (stone)" takes us on a journey back in time to the Iron Age, specifically the 3rd-2nd century BC. The image showcases an ancient Celtic portico, located at the Musee de la Vieille Charite in Marseille, France. This remarkable piece of architecture stands as a testament to the rich history and artistic achievements of prehistoric art. The stone portico is adorned with intricate carvings and symbols that reflect the cultural significance of this era. Its vibrant colors bring life to every detail, capturing our imagination and transporting us to a bygone world. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be intrigued by the presence of skulls and skeletons within its shrine chamber. These remains hint at rituals performed by Gauls, an ancient Celtic population that once inhabited this region of Europe. The portico served as a sacred space where ceremonies were conducted and spiritual practices took place. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with human existence since time immemorial. It serves as a window into our past, allowing us to connect with our ancestors and gain insights into their beliefs and traditions. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this extraordinary piece from antiquity, preserving it for generations to come. This print not only celebrates the beauty of prehistoric art but also invites us to ponder upon our own place in history's vast tapestry.
