EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of Anubis, a Romanised Egyptian deity, standing proudly in Hadrian's villa in Tivoli, Italy. Now housed within the Vatican Museums' collection, this artifact is a testament to the rich religious history shared between Egypt and Rome. Anubis, depicted as a dog-headed figure with a jackal-like appearance, holds great significance in both Egyptian and Roman mythology. As the god of embalming and guide to the afterlife, he represents protection and guidance for souls on their journey beyond death. The vibrant colors captured in this image bring out the intricate details of this marble statue. Its full-length presence commands attention while exuding an air of mystique and divinity. The craftsmanship behind this object is truly remarkable; every curve and contour beautifully sculpted to depict half-man-half-dog features. As we admire this ancient relic from two powerful civilizations merging together through artistry, it serves as a reminder of how religion transcends borders and connects people across time and space. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also its artistic brilliance that has stood the test of time. Thanks to AccuSoft Inc. , who preserved this moment through their lens back in 1996-98 without any commercial intentions or usage restrictions. It is through such dedication that we can continue to marvel at these treasures from our past.
