EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a marble sarcophagus dating back to the 2nd century AD. The centerpiece of this masterpiece is a clipeus portrait, held by flying erotes, or winged cherubs. These celestial beings carry the young soldier's likeness towards the heavens, symbolizing his ascent into eternity. Beneath this heavenly scene lies Tellus and Oceanus, representing Earth and Ocean respectively. Their presence serves as a reminder of life's cyclical nature - birth, growth, decay, and rebirth. At each end of the sarcophagus are Winged Eros and Psyche, personifying the human soul in all its beauty and fragility. The craftsmanship displayed on this Roman funerary artifact is truly remarkable. Imported from Asia Minor using Proconnesian marble during the Severan period of Imperial Rome, it showcases both opulence and reverence for deceased loved ones. Every inch of this stone coffin is adorned with mythological figures and ornate decorations that pay homage to ancient deities while commemorating an individual's life journey. It stands as a testament to Roman artistry and their belief in an afterlife. Now housed at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, this magnificent piece continues to captivate viewers with its rich symbolism and exquisite craftsmanship.
