EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wall fresco from Pompeii, depicting the Ceremony of the cult of Isis. Preserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, this mural painting offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of ancient Roman civilization. Dating back to 50-75 AD during the First Imperial Period, this artwork is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent in Roman art. The fresco features an array of fascinating elements and furnishings for sacred spaces, including an altar adorned with intricate decorations and sections. The scene comes alive with vibrant depictions of herons, birds, and other animals that add life and movement to the composition. A striking statue stands prominently amidst lush vegetation, while a musician captivates onlookers with enchanting melodies. At its center is Isis herself - divinity of the Osiris cycle in Egyptian mythology - portrayed as a hybrid figure resembling a sphinx. This non-Christian religious representation highlights Rome's openness towards diverse belief systems during that era. A priest can be seen nearby, his portrait capturing both reverence and devotion as he performs rituals within this sacred space. The architectural elements such as stairs leading up to an unknown destination further enhance the grandeur and significance associated with these ceremonies. The photograph itself was captured between 1879-1910 by Brogi from Alinari. Its high-quality reproduction allows us to appreciate every intricate detail present in this ancient masterpiece. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring print, we are transported back in time; marveling at how art has always been intertwined with human spirituality throughout history.
