EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the discovery of a bust of Jupiter in Sabratha, Libya in 1925. The print, illustrated by Achille Beltrame, beautifully depicts the excitement and wonder surrounding this archaeological find. In the image, a group of archaeologists can be seen gathered around the newly unearthed bust, carefully examining it with awe and fascination. The intricate details of Jupiter's face are highlighted by Beltrame's skilled lithograph technique, bringing to life the ancient deity who once held great significance in Roman mythology. The setting itself adds to the allure of this photograph. Sabratha, an ancient city on Libya's Mediterranean coast, was renowned for its rich history and cultural heritage. This discovery not only sheds light on Jupiter worship during that time but also provides valuable insights into the artistic craftsmanship prevalent in that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Giancarlo Costa's private collection, we are transported back to a time when explorers ventured into uncharted territories in search of hidden treasures buried beneath layers of sand and time. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, humanity continues to uncover fragments from our past that shape our understanding of who we are today. This stunning piece is not just an exquisite work of art; it is a testament to mankind's insatiable curiosity and relentless pursuit of knowledge about our shared history.
