EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the intricate beauty of the ceiling in Chamber II of the Coemeterium Maius on the Via Nomentana in Rome, Italy. Dating back to the 1st half of the 4th century, this ancient Roman burial chamber is adorned with a stunning array of decorative elements. The focal point of this artwork is "The Good Shepherd" a powerful depiction of Christ carrying a lamb on his shoulders. Surrounding this central figure are various scenes including "Miracle of the Source" "the Fall" and a veiled figure praying, each contributing to an atmosphere rich with symbolism and spiritual significance. The artist responsible for capturing this remarkable piece was Joseph Wilpert, whose attention to detail brings every element to life. The lithograph itself comes from Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. , Berlin in 1928 as part of their publication titled "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century". Helmuth Bossert provides explanatory text that enhances our understanding and appreciation for this architectural gem. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, marveling at both its historical significance and artistic mastery. It serves as a testament to Rome's rich cultural heritage and reminds us that even centuries later, these ancient wonders continue to captivate our imagination.
