EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Roman carving of the Three Muses, located in Sabratha, Libya. Dating back to approximately 161-192 AD, this remarkable piece of art can be found within the ancient theatre of Sabratha. The Three Muses are depicted here as patron goddesses of the arts, a significant theme in Greek mythology and daughters of Zeus. The image beautifully captures the intricate details and vibrant colors present in this stone sculpture. Vivid hues bring life to each figure, emphasizing their divine presence. These powerful female deities symbolize inspiration and creativity for artists throughout history. Sabratha itself is an archaeological site that holds immense historical significance. Situated in modern-day Libya, it was once part of the mighty Roman Empire. This photograph not only highlights its rich cultural heritage but also serves as a testament to the enduring influence of ancient Rome on art and architecture. Photographer Vivienne Sharp skillfully captures both the sharpness and delicacy inherent in this masterpiece while preserving its authenticity without commercial intent or use. Through her lens, we are transported back to a time when mythological figures were revered as religious icons by people who sought inspiration from these divine muses. This print serves as a visual reminder of our shared human history and our eternal fascination with mythology, religion, and artistic expression across different civilizations around the world.
