EDITORS COMMENTS
This fresco, titled "Uranus as Anubis with dogs head" transports viewers to the ancient world of mythology and artistry. Created by Tommaso Maria Conca in 1779-1780, this masterpiece adorns the ceiling of Room VII in Villa Borghese, Rome. The painting depicts Uranus, a god from Greek mythology, taking on the form of Anubis, an Egyptian deity associated with death and afterlife. With a dog's head atop his divine body, Uranus exudes an enigmatic aura that merges two distinct mythologies into one mesmerizing image. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; the fresco showcases exquisite winged creatures soaring across the sky while several animals roam beneath them. Among these animals is a collie dog acting as a loyal guard and companion to Uranus-Anubis. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of ancient civilizations and their intertwining beliefs. The fusion of Greek and Egyptian influences speaks volumes about cultural exchange during this period. Frank Buffetrille's photograph captures the essence of Conca's work beautifully. Through his lens, we can appreciate every intricate brushstroke and color choice that brings this celestial scene to life. This print serves as both a window into history and an invitation for contemplation. It invites us to explore our own interpretations of divinity while marveling at humanity's enduring fascination with gods and goddesses throughout time.
