Perpetual Edict Acrylic Print

A marble emperor's head in cool blue light carries within it scenes of the law, set against the pyramids of Egypt. The Perpetual Edict fixed Rome's legal rules in one permanent text under Hadrian, and Storaro turns that idea of lasting order into light.

Part of La Civiltà Romana by Vittorio Storaro, the three-time Oscar-winning cinematographer of Apocalypse Now, Reds and The Last Emperor, made in 1988 as a double exposure directly in the camera. Printed to order on acrylic for deep, luminous color, ready to hang.

Each print carries Vittorio Storaro's signature, printed with the image.
