EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite "Bust of Pertinax" in all its glory, preserved within the hallowed halls of the Vatican Museums in Vatican City. Dating back to around 1890, this image transports us to a time when ancient civilizations and their rich histories were being rediscovered through archeological finds. The bust itself is a remarkable testament to Roman art from the Antonine Period during the Imperial Era. With meticulous attention to detail, it showcases an intricately carved body armor that reflects both fashion and clothing trends of that era. The presence of Medusa, a female figure from mythology known for her striking appearance, adds an element of intrigue and mystique. What makes this artwork truly unique is its portrayal of a hybrid figure - part male portrait and part political figure. As we delve into history, we uncover Pertinax's significance as an emperor who played a crucial role in shaping society and politics during his reign. The photograph also offers insights into the nobility and social status prevalent during ancient times. It serves as a window into Europe's past civilization while highlighting Rome's grandeur as an empire. Adorned with a mantle cloak reminiscent of Greco-Roman kings or emperors, this bust exudes power and authority befitting such esteemed figures from history. Anderson skillfully captured this momentous piece with great precision, allowing viewers to appreciate every intricate detail while contemplating the historical context surrounding it. This print not only preserves our shared heritage but also invites us on a journey through time – reminding us how art can transcend centuries and connect us with our ancestors' stories.
