EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a Sarcophagius depicting the myth of Protesilaus, dating back to 160-170 AD. The piece is housed in the Vatican Museums and Galleries in Vatican City, showcasing the rich history and artistry of ancient Rome.
The sculpture tells the tragic tale of Protesilaus, a hero from Greek mythology who was the first to die in the Trojan War. As depicted on this Sarcophagius, Protesilaus bravely leads his troops into battle against Troy, only to meet his untimely demise at the hands of Hector.
The craftsmanship and attention to detail in this piece are truly remarkable, with each figure intricately carved out of marble. The emotions captured on their faces tell a story of love, loss, and sacrifice that resonates through time.
As you gaze upon this print by Frank Buffetrille, you can't help but be transported back to ancient Greece and feel a sense of awe at the skill and creativity of those who came before us. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experience across centuries and cultures.
