EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Votive stela dedicated to Saturn, known as the Boglio Stela, dating back to the 3rd-4th century. Crafted from limestone and measuring an impressive 155x61 cm, this remarkable piece of Roman art is housed in the Musee National du Bardo in Le Bardo, Tunisia. The stela depicts a relief scene that serves as a tomb marker or gravestone. It portrays various farm scenes with intricate details of animals such as sheep and oxen. The artist skillfully captures the essence of North African agricultural life during that time period. The composition exudes a sense of reverence and respect for Saturn, who was worshipped by ancient Romans as the god of agriculture and fertility. The dedication on this stela reflects the belief in seeking divine protection for fruitful harvests and prosperous farming endeavors. Through its artistic mastery and historical significance, this Votive stela offers us a glimpse into ancient Roman culture while also honoring their spiritual beliefs surrounding agriculture. Its presence in today's world reminds us of our connection to our ancestors' traditions and their deep-rooted appreciation for nature's bounty. As we admire this photograph print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness not only an exquisite work of art but also a testament to humanity's enduring relationship with nature throughout history.
