EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a low relief sculpture depicting the representation of Mitra (or Mithra), an Iranian deity, born from a rock. The artwork is housed in the Palace of the Conservatives in Rome and was created by the Persian School. In this intricate piece, Mitra is depicted sharing a meal with Sol, another deity. The scene exudes an air of divine tranquility as these powerful figures commune over food. The attention to detail in this relief is remarkable, capturing every nuance of their expressions and gestures. Mitra's birth from a rock symbolizes his connection to earth and his role as a solar god associated with light and truth. This portrayal highlights his significance within ancient Iranian religion and mythology. The presence of animals further enriches the composition, emphasizing nature's harmony with divinity. A bull can be seen nearby, representing fertility and strength often associated with pagan beliefs. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in Iranian religious history. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped our world today. Giancarlo Costa skillfully captures this masterpiece through photography, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even if we cannot physically visit Palazzo dei Conservatori ourselves.
