EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing piece of sculpture, believed to represent the ancient Roman god Janus. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. Janus, known as the two-faced god, is depicted here with his characteristic double visage looking both forward and backward simultaneously. The artist skillfully captures the enigmatic essence of this deity who symbolizes transitions, beginnings, and endings. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of archeology, where artifacts like this piece of sculpture shed light on ancient civilizations and their beliefs. Its timeless beauty transcends time itself as it continues to captivate viewers even today. Originally featured in The Graphic magazine in July 1895, this illustration has become an iconic representation of Janus. Preserved within a private collection for years, it now resurfaces through Bridgeman Images' archive to be admired once again. Through photography's lens, we are transported back in time to witness the artistry that immortalized gods like Janus. This image serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while reminding us of our eternal fascination with divinity and mythology.
