EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Roman Colchester Sphinx, a remarkable artefact from the 1st century. The image is set against a striking black background, emphasizing the intricate details of this ancient symbol of death and funerary rituals. Carved out of Bath oolite, this winged figure exudes an aura of mystery and elegance. The Colchester Sphinx was originally part of a Roman funerary monument in Colchester, Essex, representing a female figure with wings. Its presence evokes thoughts about life's transience and the eternal nature of death. In this studio shot, every curve and contour is highlighted to emphasize its significance as both an object and a powerful symbol. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the artistic brilliance that flourished during Roman civilization in England. The oolitic limestone used to create this masterpiece adds depth and texture to its overall appearance. The woman depicted by the sphinx embodies strength and grace; her enigmatic expression invites us to contemplate our own mortality. This artifact serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation, it continues to captivate people with its beauty. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon for capturing such an exquisite representation of history through their lens. This print allows us all to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind ancient art but also how it can still resonate with modern audiences today
