EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a dramatic scene of men engaged in fierce combat with spears, transporting us back to the ancient city of Paestum in the 4th century BC. Once a prominent Greek settlement nestled along the Tyrrhenian Sea in southern Italy, Paestum eventually fell under Lucanian rule towards the end of the 5th century BC. The image captures the intensity and raw power of these warriors as they clash face to face, their weapons poised for battle. The brown hues add an air of authenticity and age to this artifact from centuries past, evoking a sense of history and cultural significance. Displayed within what appears to be a tomb or mausoleum setting, this photograph serves as both a testament to human conflict and an homage to those who fought bravely during that era. It reminds us of our shared heritage and offers insight into ancient warfare techniques. Through this letterbox format panoramic photography by CM Dixon, we are transported directly into this historical moment - witnessing firsthand the indigenous weaponry used by these skilled fighters. This powerful metaphor for war resonates even today, reminding us that despite technological advancements over time, human conflict remains deeply rooted in our nature. With its rich historical context and stunning visual composition, this print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable artifact that allows us to connect with our past on multiple levels.
