EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art - a Marble disk with a Satyr carrying grapes. Crafted from Pentelic marble and originating from an unknown location, this ornate disk is believed to have served as a rotating window pane during the time of Emperor Augustus in ancient Rome (29 BC-AD 14). The intricate carving on the disk depicts a scene straight out of Greek mythology, featuring a naked Satyr gracefully bearing clusters of luscious grapes. The attention to detail and craftsmanship evident in this studio shot emphasizes the skill and talent of the artist who created it. With its horizontal orientation and colored background, this image transports us back to the rich history of Ancient Greece. It serves as a reminder that even without human representation or any people present, art has always been able to capture moments from the past and preserve them for future generations. As we admire this male likeness carved into stone, we are reminded not only of the beauty found in arts and crafts but also how they serve as windows into our collective cultural heritage. This photograph is an invitation to explore ancient civilizations through their artistic expressions, allowing us to appreciate their creativity while gaining insights into their beliefs and way of life
