EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-F-003214-0000" transports us back to the 14th of August in 1897. It showcases a magnificent marble sarcophagus housed within the grandeur of the Cathedral of Mazara del Vallo, Sicily. The sarcophagus itself is adorned with an intricate high relief depicting the legendary Battle of the Amazons. Dating back to the first and second centuries, this ancient artwork captivates viewers with its remarkable attention to detail. As we gaze upon it, we are transported into a world where horse-mounted warriors engage in fierce combat. These terrestrial mammals, known as amazons, are depicted as powerful female figures dressed in Greco-Roman fashion and clothing. The scene portrayed on this sarcophagus takes inspiration from Greek mythology and showcases a pivotal moment in history. The amazons were renowned for their strength and bravery, making them formidable opponents even against male adversaries. This print not only captures the essence of ancient times but also highlights our fascination with historical periods and fashion trends. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with culture and society's evolution throughout time. Through this image captured by www. alinari. it from Alinari - Italy's prestigious photography company - we can appreciate how art allows us to connect with our past while simultaneously inspiring future generations.
