EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the "Statue of Atargatis" from the Sciarra Collection, now preserved in the Museo Nazionale delle Terme in Rome. Taken around 1890, this image transports us back to ancient times, allowing us a glimpse into the rich history of Roman art. The statue itself is a remarkable representation of Atargatis, a prominent female divinity in Greco-Roman mythology. Standing tall and majestic, she exudes an air of power and grace. The artist skillfully crafted her form with intricate details that showcase their mastery over sculpting techniques. One cannot help but be drawn to the snake coiled around her arm - a symbol often associated with rebirth and transformation. This allegorical representation adds depth to our understanding of Atargatis as a divine figure embodying abstract concepts such as fertility or wisdom. As we admire this artwork captured through Anderson's lens, we are reminded of how animals played an integral role in ancient civilizations' mythologies and belief systems. Reptiles like snakes were revered for their mysterious nature and perceived connection to otherworldly realms. Moreover, this photograph serves as a testament to Europe's enduring fascination with its ancient past. It stands as evidence that even after centuries have passed since its creation during the first or second century AD, Roman art continues to captivate audiences worldwide. In conclusion, Alinari's print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance behind this sculpture but also provides insight into European culture's deep-rooted connection with ancient civilizations. Through this visual medium, we can explore diverse themes ranging from mythology and symbolism to historical preservation – all encapsulated within one timeless piece of art.
