EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cats in Rome at Pyramid of Celsius, 20th century" by CM Dixon transports us to a moment in time where feline companionship was cherished even amidst ancient ruins. The image captures a group of cats basking under the warm Roman sun, with the majestic Pyramid of Celsius serving as their backdrop. Largo di Torre Argentina, a historic square in Rome, has long been known for its affinity towards these enigmatic creatures. This love affair dates back to Imperial Rome when cats were revered as loyal companions not only in earthly life but also believed to guide souls into the afterlife. The artist's close-up portrayal allows us to appreciate the individuality and unique personalities of each cat. Their piercing eyes seem to hold secrets from centuries past, while their sleek fur glistens under the sunlight. It is as if they embody both mystery and grace within this timeless setting. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of Italy's rich cultural heritage and its enduring fascination with animals. CM Dixon skillfully captures not just a scene but an entire belief system that intertwines science (solar system) with mythology (ancient Roman beliefs). This print serves as a testament to our enduring connection with nature and how it transcends time itself.
