EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable Roman relief housed in the Vatican Museums, Vatican City. The artwork depicts an intense scene from ancient mythology, showcasing Pluto, the god of the underworld, along with other Olympian deities abducting Proserpina. Dating back to the Imperial Period of Ancient Rome (1st-3rd century AD), this relief is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe's ancient civilization. The photograph itself was taken around 1923 and beautifully showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship of this Roman artwork. In this scene, we witness a horse-drawn cart or wheelbarrow carrying Proserpina away against her will. The figures are depicted in elaborate costumes and clothing that reflect their divine status. Amongst these Olympian deities are Apollo, Athena (also known as Minerva), Hermes (or Mercury), and others who play supporting roles in this dramatic narrative. The male figures appear partially nude while displaying their muscular human bodies, emphasizing their strength and power as gods. In contrast, Proserpina stands out as a female figure amidst this chaotic abduction scene. Her expression conveys fear and distress as she becomes entangled in the clutches of Hades (Pluto). This portrayal highlights not only Roman artistry but also Greco-Roman mythology at its finest. Anderson's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured within this image – from the expressions on each deity's face to the texture of their garments. It serves as a visual time capsule that transports us back to an era where mythological tales were brought to life through breathtaking works of art like this one.
