EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable votive relief dedicated to Giove Ottimo Massimo, which has made its way back from Anger in Milan to be displayed at the prestigious Augustan Exhibition in Rome in 1938. The artwork itself dates back to the 2nd century AD, representing an exquisite piece of Roman art that epitomizes the grandeur and sophistication of ancient civilization. In this photograph, we are transported into a world where myth and divinity intertwine with human existence. The relief depicts a scene filled with symbolism and cultural significance. A male figure, possibly a priest or devotee, stands before an elaborate brazier adorned with intricate carvings. The flames dance gracefully as they illuminate the surroundings. The composition is enriched by various elements that reflect both natural phenomena and human activities. A goat grazes peacefully nearby, reminding us of terrestrial mammals coexisting harmoniously within their environment. Meanwhile, music fills the air as people engage in games and pastimes dressed in period costumes that exude elegance and fashion. At the center of it all is Giove Ottimo Massimo himself - Zeus or Jove - one of the most revered deities in Greco-Roman mythology. His presence radiates power and authority as he watches over his worshippers with benevolence. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Europe's rich ancient heritage. It invites us to delve into history's depths while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship behind this magnificent work of art. Alinari Fratelli's meticulous attention to detail ensures that every aspect of this image is brought vividly to life for viewers today, allowing us glimpses into an era long gone yet forever preserved through such masterpieces.
