This photo reproduction, created by Italian photographer Giorgio Sommer between 1860 and 1900, captures a scene of sacrifice likely inspired by a Pompeian wall painting. The image, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a group of figures, possibly illustrating a religious ritual. Two figures in the foreground engage in the sacrificial act, while others observe, hinting at the solemnity of the event. The artwork offers a glimpse into ancient Roman culture, showcasing their religious practices and beliefs through the lens of photography.
