EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of the bas-relief procession on the Arch of Settimio Severo in Leptis Magna. Displayed at the prestigious Augustea Exhibit of the Roman World in Rome from 1937 to 1938, this artwork is a testament to the enduring legacy of Roman art. Dating back to around 200 AD, this relief from the Severan Period showcases an array of symbolic elements that evoke triumph, allegory, and abstract concepts. The central focus lies on a group of individuals elegantly dressed in ancient costumes, their portraits frozen in time as they journey along a terrestrial road. The presence of majestic horses adds a sense of power and movement to this scene. The meticulous craftsmanship exhibited here reflects Europe's rich ancient civilization and its mastery over artistic expression during the imperial period. This particular frieze exemplifies how Roman art seamlessly blended realism with symbolism, creating visual narratives that transcended time. Captured by Alinari Fratelli in 1938, this photograph preserves not only the beauty but also serves as a historical document showcasing one masterpiece among many displayed at Rome's Palazzo delle Esposizioni during that remarkable exhibition. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back through centuries to witness an era when art was not merely decorative but served as a medium for storytelling and cultural preservation. It reminds us that even though civilizations rise and fall, their artistic achievements endure as timeless treasures for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
