EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent bas-relief depicting Artemis on a biga, housed within the prestigious Vatican Museums in Vatican City. The artwork itself dates back to the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD, representing an exquisite example of Roman art from ancient civilization. Artemis, also known as Diana in Roman mythology, is depicted riding gracefully on a two-wheeled chariot pulled by majestic horses. This powerful portrayal symbolizes victory and serves as an allegory for abstract concepts. Surrounding Artemis are various elements including crustaceans, arthropods, birds, and even a crab - all representative of diverse animal life. The composition also features intricate details such as military equipment and arms that highlight the significance of warfare during this period. A putto figure adds a touch of literary fiction to the scene while showcasing ancient fashion and clothing styles. Set against a backdrop of lush vegetation and trees, this bas-relief transports viewers into Greco-Roman times where mythological divinities roamed freely. The photograph was taken around 1890 by Anderson from Alinari. Capturing both artistic mastery and historical significance, this print epitomizes the rich heritage preserved within the walls of Vatican City's renowned museums. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Europe's ancient civilization through its remarkable depiction of Artemis' divine presence on land using her chariot as transportation.
