EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wall fresco with the Ceremony of the cult of Isis from Ercolano, now carefully preserved in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum of Naples. Dating back to the First Imperial Period and Imperial Period of Roman Art in Europe, this piece offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient civilization. The artwork itself was created between 50-75 AD and depicts an altar adorned with various elements and furnishings for sacred spaces. Amongst these intricate details are herons, birds, and other vertebrates that add life to the scene. A statue can also be seen amidst this find, emphasizing its significance in archeology. The architecture surrounding the ceremony is beautifully decorated with building elements and sections that were specifically designed for ceremonies like this one. The individuals present are dressed in period costumes, including a musician who adds enchanting melodies to enhance the atmosphere. At the center of it all stands Isis herself, a divinity from Egyptian mythology associated with the Osiris cycle. A hybrid figure resembling a sphinx captures attention as well, representing another intriguing aspect of non-Christian religions during that time. A male priest is portrayed prominently within this work, his portrait showcasing both his importance and dedication to his religious duties. The sculpture effortlessly blends into its surroundings while lush vegetation such as palm trees further enhances its beauty. A wreath hanging nearby serves as an object symbolizing honor or victory during this imperial period. This stunning composition captured by Alinari Fratelli around 1900 allows viewers to appreciate not only the artistic mastery but also gain insights into ancient rituals and beliefs held dear by civilizations long gone.
