EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front portion of a Roman sarcophagus, which is adorned with an exquisite depiction of two griffons shown in profile. The artwork can be found at the Museum of Delphi in Greece, adding to its historical significance and allure. Dating back to the 2nd century, this remarkable piece offers a glimpse into ancient civilization and the artistic prowess of that era. The image captures the intricate details of these mythical creatures, symbolizing power and strength. Griffons were often associated with protection and were believed to guard treasures or tombs. In this low relief sculpture, their majestic wings spread wide as they stand proudly on either side of the sarcophagus. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a work of art; it embodies various abstract concepts such as allegory and symbolism prevalent in Greco-Roman mythology. The fusion between human-like features and animalistic characteristics highlights both physiological and psychological aspects within individuals during ancient times. Furthermore, this snapshot serves as a testament to archeological discoveries made through excavations across Europe. It reminds us of our connection to history's primary elements while showcasing natural phenomena like fire that have shaped civilizations throughout time. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured not only an object but also an age-old story frozen in time through his lens. This print invites viewers to appreciate Roman art's beauty while igniting curiosity about our ancestors' lives and beliefs.
