EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman wall-painting from the 1st century, depicting Priests of Isis engaged in worship. The artwork, discovered in the ancient city of Herculaneum and now housed in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum in Naples, offers a vivid glimpse into the religious practices of this bygone civilization. In vibrant colors that have stood the test of time, we see female priests gathered outside a temple dedicated to the goddess Isis. With fire illuminating their faces and casting flickering shadows on the steps they stand upon, these devoted women exude an aura of reverence and devotion. The painting transports us back to an era when religion played a central role in people's lives. As they perform sacred rituals with utmost dedication, these priests embody faith and spirituality. The image captures both their individuality as well as their collective unity as worshippers. This artifact serves as a testament to Roman civilisation's rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted connection with deities like Isis. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans sought solace and guidance through religious practices. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon from Keystone Archives, this stunning photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the historical significance behind this ancient masterpiece.
