EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary piece of ancient art - the Alabaster funerary sculpture known as the Sarcophagus of Obese Man. Originating from Chiusi, Siena province in Italy, this remarkable artifact dates back to the 2nd century BC during the Etruscan civilization. The sculpture's intricate details and masterful craftsmanship are truly awe-inspiring. The focus of this image is on a specific detail of the sarcophagus, highlighting its historical significance and artistic beauty. The horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate every curve and contour of this magnificent work. With no people present in the frame, we are left alone with this silent witness to a bygone era. The male likeness depicted here lies on his side, showcasing an impressive level of realism in human representation. Despite being an archaeological artifact from centuries ago, it remains strikingly relevant today due to its portrayal of obesity - a timeless issue that transcends time and culture. The semi-dressed figure adds another layer of intrigue to our understanding of ancient customs and beliefs surrounding death rituals. This alabaster masterpiece serves as a tangible link between our modern world and the distant past, reminding us that history continues to shape our present. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but be transported into a world long gone yet forever preserved through artistry and archaeology.
