EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Roman head of Helioserapis, a significant artifact found in Norfolk and now housed in the prestigious British Museum. The striking image captures the essence of this male deity with its meticulously sculpted body, majestic beard, and vibrant colors. Against a dramatic black background, every intricate detail is accentuated, allowing viewers to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece. Helioserapis was revered as a powerful god in ancient Rome, embodying both Helios (the sun) and Serapis (a Greco-Egyptian deity). This fusion of two distinct religious figures highlights the cultural exchange that occurred during Roman times. As we gaze upon this remarkable representation of Helioserapis, we are transported back to an era where religion played a central role in people's lives. The location of this photograph adds another layer of significance to its historical value. Taken within England's borders, it serves as a reminder that even thousands of miles away from Rome itself, traces of ancient civilizations can be discovered. Through artifacts like these, we gain insight into the beliefs and customs that shaped our world today. Photographer CM Dixon expertly captures not only the physical attributes but also the spiritual aura surrounding this divine figure. With his keen eye for composition and lighting techniques, he brings forth an image that invites contemplation on faith and mythology.
