EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a sarcophagus, believed to be that of Beatrice, mother of Countess Matilde di Toscana. Located in the Northern Wing of the Camposanto in Pisa, this Roman artwork from the 2nd century is a testament to ancient civilization. The sculpted chest of the sarcophagus tells a compelling story - that of Hippolytus and Phaedrus. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness their mythical tale unfold. The inscription on the sarcophagus adds an air of mystery and intrigue. In this photograph taken in 1934 by Alinari, Fratelli, every detail is captured with precision. From the delicate features on each figure's face to their flowing garments that reflect ancient fashion trends, it is evident that great care was taken during its creation. The scene depicted on this sarcophagus represents not only artistic mastery but also serves as a window into Greco-Roman mythology. We see Hippolytus and Phaedra engaged in conversation while mounted on majestic horses. The terrestrial mammals add depth and realism to this stunning sculpture. As we admire this work of art, we cannot help but marvel at its historical significance. It stands as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage and reminds us of our connection to those who came before us. This print allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such an exquisite piece as well as its importance within archeological discoveries. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an instrument for communication across generations - bridging gaps between different periods and civilizations.
