EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bas-relief in calcium, depicting the apostles Peter and Paul. The artwork is housed in the Archeological Museum in Aqulieia, but it gained widespread recognition when it was exhibited at the prestigious Mostra Augustea held in Rome back in 1938. The photograph captures the intricate details of this early Christian art piece, which dates back to the 4th or 5th century AD. The relief beautifully portrays two significant figures from biblical history - Peter and Paul - who played pivotal roles in spreading Christianity across Europe. Displayed against a backdrop of ancient Roman ruins, this bas-relief stands as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic craftsmanship. Its inclusion at the Mostra Augustea further emphasizes its significance within Roman culture. Alinari, Fratelli skillfully captured this momentous artwork through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate every delicate curve and expression on Peter and Paul's faces. The composition highlights not only their individual features but also their shared purpose as messengers of faith. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to that historic exhibition held over eight decades ago. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how art can transcend time, connecting us with those who came before us. This print offers an opportunity for contemplation and reflection on the enduring legacy of these apostles while celebrating the beauty found within early Christian art throughout Europe during the first and second millenniums AD.
