EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent sculpture of "Cibele enthroned" a Roman era masterpiece that is carefully preserved in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum of Naples. The photograph, taken between 1915 and 1920, beautifully captures the essence of this ancient artwork. The sculpture depicts Cibele, a revered female divinity from Greco-Roman mythology, seated on an ornate throne. Her regal presence is accentuated by her elaborate hairstyle and majestic attire, offering a glimpse into ancient fashion and clothing. Adorned with accessories befitting her status as a deity, she holds an instrument symbolizing communication and gesture. Intriguingly inscribed with writing that adds to its historical significance, this remarkable piece also features a lion at Cibele's side. This terrestrial mammal represents strength and power in ancient cultures while emphasizing her connection to nature. Dating back to the first century AD, this extraordinary artwork provides valuable insights into Europe's ancient civilization. Its preservation over centuries allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also gain knowledge about the period it originated from. Captured by Alinari Fratelli through their lens, this print immortalizes the grandeur of "Cibele enthroned" for generations to come. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history and reminds us of our rich cultural heritage.
