EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Roman funerary slab from the Imperial period, showcasing a poignant depiction of a husband and wife. Found at the Museo Nazionale Romano in Rome, this bas-relief artwork dates back to the 2nd-3rd century. The popularity of such reliefs during this era stemmed from their symbolic significance - they represented the yearning for reunion in the afterlife rather than serving as mere markers for double burials. The image portrays an emotional connection between two individuals bound by marriage. It reflects not only their physical proximity but also their deep partnership and love for each other. The composition is rich with metaphorical elements that convey concepts like loyalty, commitment, and eternal union. The setting of ancient Rome adds another layer of historical depth to this photograph. It takes us back to a time when marriages were sacred bonds celebrated within society. This grave slab serves as a testament to the enduring nature of human relationships even beyond death. Photographed by CM Dixon, who has skillfully captured every intricate detail and nuance, this image invites viewers into an intimate glimpse of Roman culture and customs surrounding marriage and mortality. A remarkable piece housed within one of Italy's most prestigious museums, it stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a poignant reminder of our universal longing for lasting connections with loved ones throughout eternity.
