EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Bas-relief of the Tomb of the Haterii, a remarkable piece of Roman art that now resides in the Gregoriano Profano Museum within Vatican City. Originally housed in the Lateran Museum in Rome, this ancient artifact has found its rightful place among other esteemed works within the Vatican Museums. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this low relief is a testament to Europe's rich ancient civilization. The photograph itself was taken between 1920 and 1930, capturing every intricate detail with precision and clarity. It serves as a window into history, allowing us to marvel at both its craftsmanship and significance. The bas-relief depicts various elements and symbols that offer insight into Roman society during that era. From furnishings for civic spaces to decorative candelabra crafted from wrought metal, each component tells a story about architecture and applied arts prevalent at that time. The inclusion of flutes suggests music played an essential role in their culture while portraits of both males and females highlight individuality amidst societal norms. Vegetal elements such as festoons add an organic touch to this artwork while shells symbolize life's transience and death's inevitability—an ever-present reminder even in ancient times. Anderson's photograph captures not only these physical aspects but also delves deeper into physiological and psychological aspects associated with age—a poignant reflection on mortality itself. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back centuries ago when Rome thrived as one of history's greatest civilizations. This print stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with antiquity—reminding us how art can transcend time and continue inspiring generations after generations.
