EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic statue of Minerva sitting in all her glory, later transformed into the goddess Roma, residing within the niche of the grand staircase at Palazzo Senatorio in Rome. The intricate details of this ancient artwork are beautifully preserved, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of Roman art during the Flavian and Imperial periods. The statue depicts a female divinity adorned in an exquisite costume that reflects both military and religious influences. Her head is crowned with a magnificent helmet or headdress, symbolizing power and wisdom. With a lance or spear held firmly in one hand, she exudes strength and authority. A globe rests beside her as a testament to Rome's vast influence over Europe during ancient times. Dating back to approximately 81-96 AD, this artwork represents an important era in European history - the Greco-Roman civilization. It serves as a reminder of their rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements. Alinari's masterful photography skillfully captures every intricate detail of this awe-inspiring sculpture from around 1920-1930. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to its already impressive presence. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back through time to witness firsthand the magnificence of Roman artistry. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, these masterpieces continue to inspire awe and admiration for their beauty and historical significance.
