EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable cameo from the 2nd century, encased in a stunning 16th-century gold frame. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this exquisite piece of art. The cameo itself bears images of Serapis and Isis, two significant deities from ancient Egyptian mythology. Serapis was a syncretic deity combining elements of Greek and Egyptian gods, while Isis was revered as the goddess of fertility, motherhood, and magic. What makes this cameo even more intriguing is the inscription on the gold frame that reveals its original owners - Marcus Antoninius and his wife Faustina. This personal touch adds an intimate connection to the artwork's history. The sardonyx material used for this masterpiece further enhances its allure with its unique layers of red and white bands. Its smooth surface allows for intricate carving that brings out every delicate feature. Displayed at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, this pendant serves as a testament to both Roman artistry and Renaissance appreciation for classical antiquity. It is a true treasure that transports viewers back in time to witness the beauty and sophistication of ancient civilizations. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured all these details in their photo print, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to admire this extraordinary work without having to travel thousands of miles.
