EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Spain, specifically Merida, where the excavations of the bullring in 1902 unearthed a remarkable artifact. Standing tall against a striking black background is the Mithraic Cronus (Saturn), an exquisite sculpture that embodies strength and power. Dating back to the 2nd century A. D. , this piece now finds its home at the Museo Nacional De Arte Romano, showcasing Hispanic-Roman art at its finest. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are truly awe-inspiring as every curve and contour of this classical-style artwork has been meticulously preserved. The image captures Saturn's imposing male likeness with his muscular physique and commanding presence. In one hand, he holds a snake, symbolizing his connection to mythology and ancient Roman religion. This animal representation adds depth to our understanding of Saturn's significance as a god associated with agriculture, wealth, and time. As we gaze upon this studio shot of such an extraordinary antiquity from ancient Rome, we can't help but marvel at how it has stood the test of time. Its timeless beauty serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with art and craft throughout history. Let this print transport you into the realm of gods and legends as you explore the rich cultural heritage encapsulated within this stunning depiction of Mithraic Cronus (Saturn).
