EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art and craft - a marble sarcophagus with reliefs depicting the tragic death of Meleager. Created around 180 A. D. , during the Roman civilization's imperial age, this exquisite artifact takes us back to the 2nd century A. D. when skilled craftsmen meticulously carved intricate scenes from Greek mythology onto its surface. The horizontal bas relief on this sarcophagus tells a sorrowful tale of grief and loss. Male and female likenesses are depicted mourning the demise of Meleager, their expressions capturing the depth of their despair. The attention to detail in every carving is truly awe-inspiring, showcasing the mastery these ancient artists possessed. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported into an indoor setting where this magnificent work resides. With no people present, it allows us to focus solely on appreciating its historical significance and artistic beauty. This image serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to the past and our fascination with antiquities. It invites us to reflect upon how civilizations before us expressed their emotions through art, immortalizing stories that continue to captivate audiences centuries later
