EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable relief depicting the esteemed Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, his wife Faustina the Younger, and the goddess Rome. Preserved in all its glory at the Museum of Villa Albani in Rome, this artwork is a true testament to the grandeur of ancient civilization. Dating back to the Antonine Period during 161-180 AD, this relief showcases intricate details that transport us back in time. The subjects are depicted in their elaborate costumes and hairstyles, giving us a glimpse into fashion and clothing trends of that era. Their faces reflect both power and grace as they stand proudly before us. The nudity portrayed here is not meant to be scandalous but rather symbolizes human beauty and strength. Marcus Aurelius, known for his philosophical pursuits as well as his political leadership, stands tall with an air of authority befitting an emperor. Beside him stands his beloved wife Faustina the Younger, radiating elegance and poise. The presence of the goddess Rome further emphasizes their status within society and politics. As she watches over them protectively, we are reminded of their role in shaping history and leading one of Europe's greatest empires. Captured around 1890 by Anderson from Alinari Studios, this photograph preserves not only a piece of art but also offers insight into our fascination with ancient civilizations. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation; this masterpiece continues to inspire awe among those who behold it. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but marvel at how these famous figures from antiquity still hold sway over our imaginations - reminding us that history truly does live on through art.
