EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable panel depicting a fierce tiger attacking its prey. Created in marble by an anonymous Roman artist during the 4th century AD, this masterpiece is now housed in the Palazzo dei Conservatori at Musei Capitolini in Rome. Originally part of the Basilica of Junius Bassus, known for its opus sectile work, this panel exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during that era. The image portrays a stylized yet savage scene where the predator pounces on an unsuspecting ram. The mosaic technique employed adds depth and texture to every element, bringing life to both the tiger's ferocity and the sheep's vulnerability. This juxtaposition between wild animals and farm life creates a powerful visual narrative. Giuliano Valsecchi skillfully captures this extraordinary artwork through his lens, preserving it for generations to appreciate. His photograph allows us to admire not only the intricate details but also highlights how ancient Romans celebrated nature's raw beauty through their art. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported back in time to witness one of nature's most primal moments frozen forever within stone. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with animalistic power and our eternal quest for artistic expression across different cultures throughout history.
