EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of a preserved statue of an Amazon, showcased in the New Wing of the Vatican Museums in Vatican City. The photograph, taken around 1890, transports us back to ancient times when this remarkable artwork was created between the 1st century BC and the 4th century AD. The statue exudes strength and grace as it stands tall in its Roman art form. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the intricate gesture to the instrument held by this mythical figure. Through her powerful communication, she tells a story that echoes throughout history. Dressed in elaborate costume and fashion typical of that era, with an exquisite hairdo adorning her head, this Amazon warrior embodies both femininity and courage. Her breastplate accentuates her strong physique while revealing parts of her nude human body. Legend has it that Amazons were fierce female warriors from Greek mythology who fought valiantly alongside men. This sculpture pays homage to their existence and serves as a testament to their significance in ancient civilization. The object held by our Amazon is a halberd—a weapon commonly associated with these legendary warriors. It symbolizes strength and protection against any adversaries they encountered on their heroic quests. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of art captured by Anderson from Alinari's lens, we are transported not only through time but also across continents. This Roman masterpiece represents Europe's rich cultural heritage intertwined with Greco-Roman influences. Let us marvel at this magnificent artifact displayed within the hallowed walls of Vatican City's prestigious museums—an enduring reminder of humanity's fascination with mythologies past and our eternal quest for knowledge about our collective history.
