EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the "Sarcophagus with characters of the Old and New Testament" housed in the Lateran Museum, Rome. Today, this remarkable piece can be found in the Museo Gregoriano Profano within the Vatican Museums, Vatican City. Dating back to approximately 1890 AD, this photograph captures a relic from ancient times. The sarcophagus itself dates back to the 4th century AD and is adorned with low relief bas-reliefs depicting scenes from both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. It serves as a testament to early Christian art during Europe's first and second millenniums. The image portrays various allegorical symbols such as wheat, representing farming and country life, while also alluding to temptation through abstract concepts. A lamb symbolizes terrestrial mammals and vertebrates alongside depictions of men, women - including Adam and Eve - highlighting their story within biblical history. The composition reveals an impressive temple-like structure that adds depth to this ancient artwork. The figures are depicted wearing period costumes that reflect fashion trends of that time. Notably, there is even a portrait of a child present on this intricately carved masterpiece. This photograph by Anderson from Alinari beautifully captures every detail of this significant artifact while preserving its historical context for viewers today. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate early Christian artistry while immersing ourselves in stories expressed through biblical subjects spanning centuries.
