EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite artifact from ancient Rome - the Effigy of a youth on a Roman sarcophagus, dating back to the 2nd century. Currently housed in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum in Rome, this remarkable burial object is a testament to the artistic prowess and cultural significance of its time. The effigy itself depicts a young male figure peacefully sleeping, evoking a sense of tranquility and serenity. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this stone sculpture, capturing the essence of eternal rest with great finesse. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time, contemplating both life and death. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in ancient civilizations like Rome, people grappled with these universal concepts. The location of this magnificent sarcophagus adds another layer of historical value. Italy has long been revered for its rich heritage and contributions to art and culture. This artifact stands as a testament to Italy's enduring legacy as one of the world's most influential countries. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, we can now appreciate every minute detail of this extraordinary piece from our own homes.
