EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the frieze found on the temple of Anthony and Faustina in Rome, which is now known as the Church of S. Lorenzo in Miranda. The photograph, taken around 1890, beautifully captures the intricate artistry and historical significance of this ancient Roman masterpiece. Dating back to approximately 140-141 AD during the Antonine Period, this remarkable artwork represents an important era in Roman history. It belongs to the Imperial Period and exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship that characterized Roman art. The focal point of this image is a majestic griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and wings of an eagle. This fantastical animal has long been associated with literature, fiction, and mythology throughout various cultures. Its presence on this frieze adds an element of mystery and enchantment to an already awe-inspiring piece. As we delve into its details, we are transported back to ancient Europe where civilizations flourished under Greco-Roman influences. The rich symbolism depicted here speaks volumes about their beliefs and values during that time. Anderson's masterful capture not only preserves this extraordinary artwork but also allows us to appreciate its grandeur even today. Through his lens, he invites us to explore our shared human heritage by immersing ourselves in these remnants from an ancient civilization. Let us marvel at this magnificent fusion of history, artistry, and mythology captured within one frame—a testament to mankind's enduring fascination with storytelling through visual expression.
