EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Sarcophagus dogmatic" housed in the Gregoriano Profano Museum, formerly known as the Lateran Museum, within Vatican City. Dating back to approximately 330 AD, this ancient artifact is a testament to Early Christian Art during Europe's First and Second Millennium. The front of the sarcophagus features intricate biblical scenes that transport viewers into the stories of Adam and Eve, Isaac and other patriarchs. A tondo adorns its surface with beautifully preserved portraits of two deceased individuals. The craftsmanship on display is truly awe-inspiring. Anderson's photograph, taken around 1890, perfectly captures every detail of this extraordinary piece. From roosters and birds to terrestrial animals like lions, each element adds depth and symbolism to the artwork. The primary elements of fire and water are also represented, further enhancing its significance. Notable biblical events such as the raising of Lazarus, miracles performed by Christ himself including turning water into wine at Cana and receiving gifts from the Magi are depicted with meticulous precision. Additionally, prominent figures like Saint Peter can be identified among various apostles portrayed on this magnificent sarcophagus. The subjects' attire reflects their social status while veils and headdresses indicate religious significance. Objects such as vases add an extra layer of detail to this masterpiece. As a window into early Christian art history, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill employed in creating such works as well as gain insight into societal norms during that period. Anderson's expertly captured image ensures that future generations can continue marveling at this significant piece for years to come.
