Agriculture Archeological Artifact Bas Relief Farmer Imperial Age Milking Sarcophagus Sheep Animal Representation
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back to the Roman civilization of the 3rd century A. D. It showcases intricate reliefs on a sarcophagus, specifically depicting farmers engaged in their daily tasks of gathering legumes and milking sheep. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every carving brings these scenes to life. The front view studio shot allows us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating this sculpture. The vertical composition emphasizes the height and grandeur of the piece, while also drawing our eyes towards its central focus - the farmers and their activities. As we delve into history through this single object, we are reminded of ancient Rome's reliance on agriculture for sustenance. This bas relief serves as an archeological artifact, providing valuable insights into how farming was practiced during that time. While there are no people present in this image, animal representation takes center stage with sheep being milked by one farmer while others diligently gather legumes nearby. These reliefs offer a glimpse into everyday life during the imperial age. Situated within Villa Casali Necropolis in Rome, this artwork stands as a testament to both human creativity and reverence for those who have passed away. Its presence amidst nature is further accentuated by a tree goat perched nearby – perhaps symbolizing fertility or protection. In summary, this print captures not only an exquisite piece of ancient Roman sculpture but also offers us a window into their agricultural practices and way of life centuries ago.
