EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of the bas-reliefs adorning the iconic Arch of Titus in Rome. The focal point of this image is a candelabrum with seven arms, delicately carried on the shoulders by two men adorned with laurel wreaths. The archaic beauty of this ancient artwork transports us back to the First Imperial Period, between 81-96 AD, when Roman art flourished and left an indelible mark on European civilization. This particular piece showcases the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined Roman sculpture. The candelabrum itself holds great significance as it symbolizes both religious and cultural elements. As an essential element in sacred spaces, it represents not only a source of light but also serves as a furnishing for ceremonial purposes. Its resemblance to a menorah further highlights its connection to non-Christian religions. The composition masterfully captures the human body's grace and strength through these two figures who bear the weight effortlessly upon their shoulders. Their nudity emphasizes their vulnerability while showcasing their physical prowess. Resting atop an ornate pedestal, this work exemplifies Roman ingenuity in creating objects that seamlessly blend functionality with artistic expression. The laurel wreath crowning each man's head signifies victory or achievement, adding another layer of symbolism to this remarkable piece. Photographed around 1890, this print from Alinari allows us to appreciate every intricate detail preserved throughout centuries. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and reminds us of Rome's rich cultural heritage captured within its architectural marvels like the Arch of Titus.
