EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient relief featuring the imperial eagle, nestled within the grand portico of the Basilica of the Holy Apostles in Rome. The artwork, dating back to the 2nd century, is a remarkable testament to Roman art and its enduring influence on European civilization. The relief depicts an intricately carved eagle, symbolizing power and authority, perched atop a ribbon-like object. Its majestic wings spread wide as if ready to take flight, while a crown adorns its head, signifying regality. This representation serves as an allegory for abstract concepts such as strength and dominion. The photograph itself was captured around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli, renowned for their skill in capturing timeless images of historical artifacts. Through their lens, we are transported back in time to witness this exquisite piece of Roman craftsmanship. Located within one of Rome's most significant religious structures – the Basilica of the Holy Apostles – this relief stands as a testament to both artistic prowess and spiritual devotion. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times and civilizations, certain symbols endure. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of Rome's rich history but also of humanity's universal fascination with communication through visual arts. The inscription accompanying this artwork speaks volumes about our ancestors' desire to express themselves through intricate carvings and sculptures. This print is more than just a glimpse into ancient civilization; it is a tangible connection between past and present—a bridge that allows us to appreciate Europe's cultural heritage while marveling at human creativity throughout time.
