EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of ancient Roman art, showcasing a remarkable relief titled "Barbarian Prisoner". The artwork is prominently displayed on the base of a column belonging to the renowned Arch of Septimius Severus, dating back to 203 A. D. This particular print was exhibited at the prestigious Mostra Augustea in Rome during 1937-1938. The relief depicts a soldier standing triumphantly over a captured barbarian prisoner, symbolizing military prowess and conquest. The intricate details etched into the stone showcase the artist's mastery in capturing human emotions and expressions. The soldier's attire reflects the fashion and clothing style prevalent during that period, with his mantle cloak draped elegantly over his shoulder. The prisoner, chained and subdued, represents not only an individual but also signifies social status within society. This portrayal highlights both political power dynamics and societal hierarchies prevalent in ancient Europe. As viewers gaze upon this masterpiece frozen in time, they are transported back to an era where such scenes were commonplace. Alinari Fratelli skillfully photographed this timeless artwork in 1938, preserving its historical significance for generations to come. Through their lens, they have successfully conveyed every intricate detail of this low-relief basrelief Roman art piece. This photograph serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient civilizations and their artistic achievements. It allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also offers insights into European history from centuries ago.
