EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable relief artwork found within the grand Basilica of Santissimi Apostoli in Rome. The focal point of this relief is an imperial eagle, majestically depicted inside a circle of oaks. Dating back to the 2nd century, this piece exemplifies the exquisite Roman art that has withstood the test of time. The intricate details and craftsmanship showcased in this relief are truly awe-inspiring. Every element holds significance, from the inscription and writing that adorn it to the various instruments symbolizing communication and knowledge. The presence of the eagle, known for its strength and power, adds an air of authority to this artwork. Symbolism plays a significant role in this piece as well. The circular arrangement of oak trees represents longevity and endurance while also creating a sense of unity. A ribbon gracefully intertwines through each tree, emphasizing their connection and forming an allegorical representation. Notably, abstract concepts come into play here too; abstract ideas such as power and sovereignty are conveyed through objects like crowns resting atop branches or wings extending from them. Captured between 1900-1910 by Brogi from Alinari, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical importance embedded within ancient Roman civilization. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these masterpieces continue to inspire awe among those fortunate enough to witness them firsthand. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in Europe's rich cultural heritage while marveling at humanity's ability to create enduring works of art.
