EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient artifact, a Drachm coin portraying the esteemed King Varahran II of Persia. Created by an unknown artist during the 3rd century, this piece is now housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago's collection of arts from the ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every intricate detail on this silver coin. Against a grey background, the image beautifully captures the color and texture of this historical currency. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to an era when coins held immense significance as symbols of power and wealth. King Varahran II was not only a monarch but also played a crucial role in religious matters as he embraced Zoroastrianism, an ancient Persian religion. This coin serves as a testament to his royal stature and devotion to his faith. As we admire this studio-shot photograph, we cannot help but marvel at how such small objects like coins can carry so much historical weight. It reminds us that art comes in various forms and mediums – even something as seemingly mundane as currency can be transformed into an object worthy of admiration for its cultural heritage. Through this photo print, we are granted access to a glimpse of history that would otherwise remain hidden away. It serves as both a visual delight and educational tool for those who seek to explore our rich past through art.
