EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Bust of Commodus as Hercules" a remarkable Carrara marble sculpture dating back to 180-193 AD. Housed in the prestigious Musei Capitolini in Rome, Italy, this ancient masterpiece is a testament to Roman artistry and mythology. The bust depicts Commodus, the Roman Emperor who famously identified himself with the mythical hero Hercules. With his strong facial features and majestic beard, he embodies power and authority. Adorned in an intricately designed hooded costume and fur clothing, he exudes both regality and strength. In one hand, Commodus holds a bludgeon while resting his other hand on the head of a fierce lion - symbolizing his triumph over wild beasts. This portrayal not only highlights his heroic nature but also alludes to his divine lineage as Hercules was considered a demigod. The sculpture's attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every curve and line meticulously carved from pristine Carrara marble. It serves as an enduring reminder of ancient Greece's influence on Roman culture during this period. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of art captured by Frank Buffetrille's lens, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur of antiquity. The combination of mythological symbolism, intricate craftsmanship, and historical significance makes this photograph print truly mesmerizing for any admirer of fine art or history enthusiast alike.
