EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statue representing an Isis priestess, carved from marble in the 2nd century B. C. The image transports us to Italy, specifically Sicily's enchanting town of Taormina. Standing tall and proud against a black background, this full-length sculpture exudes an air of ancient civilization. The intricate details of the robe and the expert craftsmanship evident in every curve make this artwork truly awe-inspiring. With a front view captured in studio lighting, we are able to appreciate the vertical composition that emphasizes its grandeur. As we delve into history through this photograph, it becomes apparent that this statue holds immense cultural significance. It symbolizes not only the influence of Ancient Rome but also pays homage to Ancient Egypt with its depiction of Isis, an Egyptian goddess. With no people present in the frame, our focus is solely on this archaeological artifact—a testament to human creativity and artistry from centuries past. This single object serves as a window into a bygone era when religious beliefs were intricately woven into daily life. Displayed at Palermo's Museo Archeologico Regionale (Archaeological Museum), this piece invites us to contemplate the rich tapestry of ancient civilizations and their enduring impact on our world today.
