EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable high relief depicting Marcus Aurelius in his triumphant chariot, which is carefully preserved within the prestigious Capitoline Museums in Rome. The artwork itself dates back to the Antonine Period of ancient Roman history, specifically between 161 and 180 AD. In this visually striking piece, we witness an allegorical representation of victory and power embodied by Marcus Aurelius. The abstract concept and symbol of triumph are beautifully conveyed through the intricate details of the sculpture. Positioned atop a magnificent horse-drawn chariot, Marcus Aurelius exudes authority as he leads his terrestrial procession. The architectural elements surrounding the relief add depth and grandeur to the composition. An arch with elaborate decoration frames this scene, while an architrave and tympanum enhance its religious undertones. This temple-like structure serves as a testament to both ancient Roman artistry and their deep-rooted religious beliefs. Marcus Aurelius himself is depicted in regal attire that reflects his political stature as emperor of Rome during this period. As one delves into this photograph, it becomes evident that it not only captures a historical figure but also offers insights into society and politics at that time. The quadriga on which Marcus Aurelius stands signifies his method of transportation - an impressive four-horse chariot commonly associated with victorious leaders. This mode of transport was emblematic of imperial power throughout ancient civilizations. Anderson's skillful photography transports us back to approximately 1890 when this image was captured. It allows us to appreciate the magnificence of Roman art from centuries ago while providing glimpses into Europe's rich ancient civilization.
