EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Imperial Roman era bas-relief from a sarcophagus, depicting the Triumph of Bacchus. The artwork is housed in the prestigious Museo Lapidario Maffeiano in Verona, Italy. Dating back to the 1st to 4th century AD, this remarkable piece of Roman art transports us to a bygone era of ancient civilization in Europe. The intricate details carved into the low relief are truly awe-inspiring. The scene unfolds with a male divinity at its center - Bacchus, also known as Dionysus in Greek mythology. He stands tall and proud, surrounded by mythical creatures such as satyrs and centaurs. These hybrid figures add an element of mystique and enchantment to the composition. As our eyes wander across the bas-relief, we notice that Bacchus is depicted on a journey along a road by land. This scene not only highlights his divine status but also emphasizes his association with wine-making and revelry. The method of transportation chosen for this triumphal procession is equally intriguing – a cart or wheelbarrow-like structure carries Bacchus forward amidst his loyal followers. This unique choice adds depth and symbolism to the artwork. Alinari's masterful photography captures every nuance of this extraordinary artwork from nearly a century ago (1920-1930 ca. ). Their lens allows us to appreciate every delicate line and contour etched into stone with precision during the Imperial period. Immerse yourself in history as you gaze upon this magnificent portrayal of Bacchus' triumph; it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and testament to Rome's rich cultural heritage.
