EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an arcosolium in the Catacomb of Domitilla on the Via Ardeatina, Rome, Italy. Dating back to the 2nd half of the 4th century B. C. , this ancient Roman burial chamber is a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels of that era. The intricate design and decorative elements found within this catacomb are truly awe-inspiring. The photograph captures a stunning view of the arcosolium, with its scale pattern adorned with palmettes under the arch. On either side, we can see two remarkable frescoes depicting significant biblical events - on the right is "Miracle of the Source" while on the left is "Resurrection of Lazarus". These paintings add a touch of spirituality and symbolism to this sacred space. Atop the arch, there was once a painting featuring Christ with his apostles; however, only Peter's image has survived over time. This preservation serves as a poignant reminder of both human mortality and religious devotion. The print itself comes from an encyclopedic book titled "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from Earliest Times to Middle XIXth Century" by Helmuth Bossert. Published in Berlin in 1928 by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. , it provides valuable insights into color decoration throughout history. This image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only Rome's ancient architecture but also its cultural significance and spiritual heritage. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, these archaeological wonders continue to captivate our imagination and inspire awe for those who encounter them today.
