EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Ivory diptych with the repeated image of the emperor Honorius" a remarkable work conserved in the Treasure of the Aosta cathedral. Dating back to the 5th century, this dyptch is a testament to Roman art and ancient civilization. The photograph, taken between 1915-1920, beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical masterpiece. The diptych features an image of Emperor Honorius repeated on both panels, symbolizing his power and authority during that era. Adorned with a crown and jewelry befitting his status, he stands tall against an architectural backdrop consisting of arches and pilaster strips. The artwork itself is a true marvel of applied arts and crafts. The craftsmanship involved in creating such delicate ivory carvings is truly awe-inspiring. Every element has been meticulously crafted - from the emperor's sword and armor representing military might to his regal mantle cloak flowing elegantly around him. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a glimpse into European history. It offers us insight into ancient civilizations like Rome and their empires that once dominated vast territories across Europe. The presence of shields and standards further emphasizes the military aspect associated with these powerful rulers. This diptych serves as not only an artistic masterpiece but also as a window into the history of ancient populations who lived under Roman rule. Alinari Fratelli's skillful photography allows us to appreciate this treasure housed within Aosta Cathedral even if we cannot see it firsthand ourselves. Through this photo print, we can immerse ourselves in Europe's rich ancient civilization while marveling at its artistic achievements.
