EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Heads of gods, remains of the colossal statues from the Tomb of Antiochus I, on the summit of Nemrut Dagi" takes us on a journey through time and space. The image transports us to Turkey's majestic Nemrut Dagi, where remnants of ancient civilization stand tall against the backdrop of an awe-inspiring landscape. Dating back to 62 BCE, these colossal statues were once part of the tomb complex built by King Antiochus I. Each head represents a different deity from Greek and Persian mythology, showcasing an amalgamation of cultures that thrived in this region centuries ago. Despite their fragmented state, these heads exude a sense of grandeur and power that has withstood the test of time. Photographed by Pietro Ronchetti in 1976, this artwork captures not only the intricate details carved into each head but also highlights their significance as symbols of religious devotion and cultural heritage. The headdresses worn by these divine figures speak volumes about their roles - some adorned with military regalia while others display ornate civilian or religious accessories. Beyond being mere artifacts frozen in history, these heads serve as reminders that fashion and clothing have always played a vital role in human expression. They offer glimpses into ancient styles and trends while simultaneously revealing parts of the human body through their nude forms. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Alinari, we are transported to an era long gone yet still present in our collective consciousness. It is a testament to humanity's ability to create enduring works that transcend time itself – reminding us that even after millennia pass, traces remain for future generations to marvel at our past achievements.
