EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two low-reliefs and a frieze, each adorned with various toilet objects, which were exhibited at the Augustan Exhibition in Rome in 1938. The first pair of low-reliefs originates from the Municipal Museum of Avezzano, while the second piece is attributed to the Archeological Museum of Split. Both artworks provide a fascinating glimpse into ancient Roman culture. The intricate details depicted on these sculptures transport us back to the first century AD when they were created. From delicate combs and mirrors to elegant pitchers and accessories, these everyday items offer insight into the fashion and grooming practices of that era. It is remarkable how such mundane objects can reveal so much about an ancient civilization's way of life. The juxtaposition of these artifacts within a single exhibition highlights their significance as representations of Mundus Muliebris – a term used to describe women's private spaces or rituals during Roman times. This thematic connection adds depth and context to our understanding of gender roles in ancient society. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this momentous occasion through their lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. Their skillful composition allows us to fully appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the historical value held within these pieces. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded that art transcends time and place, connecting us with our ancestors' stories and experiences. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while offering valuable insights into civilizations long gone.
