EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of ancient Roman art in all its glory. The subject, Ares Ludovisi, stands proudly in the National Museum of Rome within Palazzo Altemps, serving as a testament to the rich history and culture of Europe's ancient civilization. Dating back to approximately 1890, this print showcases an artwork that dates even further back to the 1st or 2nd century AD. Crafted with meticulous detail and precision, Ares Ludovisi's hilt, shield, sword, arms, armor, and military equipment are on full display. Every element exudes strength and power associated with armed forces and military life during that era. The figure depicted is none other than Ares himself - the god of war in Greek mythology known as Mars in Roman mythology. This divine representation is captured flawlessly; his muscular male form standing tall amidst drapery that gracefully cascades around him. Adding a touch of whimsy to this awe-inspiring statue is a putto at its base. This cherubic figure injects an air of playfulness into an otherwise formidable scene. It serves as a reminder that even gods can be approached with childlike curiosity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece through Anderson's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the magnificence of Greco-Roman artistry. Its preservation within Palazzo Altemps allows us modern-day observers to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. This photograph by Anderson offers us a glimpse into our past – reminding us how art has always been intertwined with human existence throughout history while simultaneously inviting us to explore our own connection with these ancient civilizations.
