EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of the "Apotheosis Of Antoninus Pius and Faustina" relief, which adorns the base of the Column of Antoninus Pius. Created in the 2nd century AD by Roman artists, this stone masterpiece now resides within the Vatican Museums and Galleries, located in Vatican City. The relief depicts Emperor Antoninus Pius (86-161 AD) and his wife Annia Galeria Faustina (c. 100-140 AD), both figures central to Roman history. The composition showcases a celestial scene where they are elevated to divine status through apotheosis. An angel hovers above them while majestic eagles soar gracefully around their sculpted forms. Every detail is meticulously carved into this monumental artwork - from the intricate drapery on their garments to the delicate feathers of each bird. The column's base serves as a plinth for these honorary figures, emphasizing their importance within ancient Rome's cultural landscape. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when emperors were revered as gods among men. This sculpture stands not only as a testament to artistic skill but also as a symbol of power and honor within the Roman Empire. Vincenzo Pirozzi's expert photography allows us to appreciate every nuance of this historical artifact, inviting us into its world filled with mythological symbolism and imperial glory.
