EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Roman antiquity of the Sarcophagus of the Muses. Adorned with intricate carvings, this ancient masterpiece depicts the nine muses along with portraits of renowned philosopher Socrates and poet Hesiode on its small sides. The photograph beautifully captures Socrates, a Greek philosopher who lived from 469 to 399 BC, deep in conversation with his muse. Manufactured in Rome during the mid-2nd century, this sarcophagus holds immense historical significance. It was once part of the esteemed collection belonging to Cardinal Albani before finding its permanent home at Paris Musee du Louvre. The image evokes a sense of intellectualism and artistic brilliance as it transports us back to ancient Greece. The carving skillfully portrays a woman engaging in an enlightening dialogue with Socrates, symbolizing their profound connection and shared pursuit of knowledge. With elements such as archaeology, philosophy, and antique Greece intertwined within this artwork's essence, it serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with history and culture. This print by Photo Josse allows viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the rich stories embedded within these ancient relics.
