EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to ancient Rome, capturing a moment frozen in stone. The image showcases a remarkable relief from a Christian sarcophagus found in Lambrate, now residing at the Archaeological Museum in Milan. The artwork was proudly exhibited at the prestigious 1938 Mostra Augustea in Rome before finding its permanent home at the Museo della Civilt Romana. This low relief, or bas-relief as it is commonly known, represents an exquisite example of Roman art from the 1st century. In this scene, we are introduced to a shopkeeper going about his daily business. He stands behind his table adorned with various goods while leaning against an elegant column that adds grandeur to his humble surroundings. The architecture of the arcade behind him further emphasizes the bustling atmosphere of ancient civic spaces. Dressed in period costume, our merchant exudes authenticity and provides insight into fashion and clothing during this era of European history. His presence reminds us of the rich tapestry of ancient civilization that once thrived within these walls. Alinari's masterful photography captures every intricate detail with precision and clarity, allowing us to appreciate both the craftsmanship of this relief and its historical significance. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of Rome's glorious past but also how art can transcend time and connect us with those who came before us. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with history and our desire to preserve it for future generations.
