EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail from a stone plinth, transporting us back to the 1st century BC in ancient Arezzo, Italy. The focus of this artwork is Silvanus, an esteemed Roman tutelary god revered for his dominion over woods and fields. Standing tall and proud, Silvanus embodies the essence of nature's bounty and protection. The intricate carving reveals a male figure with muscular physique and nakedness symbolizing his connection to the wild. His piercing gaze exudes strength and wisdom as he stands amidst lush foliage, representing his role as a guardian deity of forests. A faithful companion by his side, an animal - possibly a dog - hints at Silvanus' affinity for hunting. The craftsmanship displayed on this stone plinth is truly awe-inspiring; every detail meticulously carved into the object speaks volumes about the skill of its creators. The vibrant colors bring life to this ancient artifact, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even after centuries have passed. As we observe this photograph print by CM Dixon (not affiliated with any company), we are reminded of the rich religious beliefs that shaped Roman civilization. It serves as a testament to their reverence for deities like Silvanus who played integral roles in their daily lives.
