EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary piece of history - an early British Christian wall-painting on plaster from the 2nd century. The artwork, discovered in the Roman villa at Lullingstone in Kent, offers a vivid glimpse into the rich tapestry of ancient civilization. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this remarkable artifact transport us back to a time when Christianity was still in its infancy. Two male figures stand proudly within a grand house, their arms raised and gesturing with profound significance. Their presence exudes a sense of devotion and spirituality that transcends centuries. Located amidst the stunning landscapes of England's picturesque county of Kent, this Roman villa served as both a residence and testament to the cultural exchange between civilizations. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression. Through this photograph, we are granted access to an intimate connection with our ancestors - men who lived during one of history's most transformative periods. As we contemplate their hand gestures and expressions frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at their beliefs, hopes, and dreams. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon's meticulous work capturing every detail with precision, this image serves as more than just documentation; it becomes a portal through which we can explore the depths of our shared past. Let us cherish these fragments from antiquity that continue to inspire awe today.
