EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the "Head of Mathilde" an ancient Roman artwork that has found its home in the prestigious Fridericianum Museum of Cassel, Germany. The photograph itself was taken in 1938, during the Augustan Exhibition of Roman culture held at the grand Exhibition Hall in Rome. The bust, believed to have been created between 112-119 AD during the Trajanic Period, showcases remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail. It portrays a female figure with a mesmerizing headdress adorning her head, reflecting both civilian and religious influences. Her hairstyle is intricately styled, emphasizing her regal status within Roman society. As we gaze upon this striking portrait, we are transported back in time to an era when fashion and clothing played a significant role in expressing one's social standing. The subject's face exudes elegance and poise, capturing not only her physical features but also offering us a glimpse into her personality. It is worth noting that this sculpture represents more than just artistic mastery; it symbolizes an entire civilization - the mighty Romans who once ruled Europe with their imperial might. Through this artwork, we can delve into history and explore ancient populations' lives while marveling at their rich cultural heritage. The nobility associated with this piece further emphasizes its significance within Roman art history. As visitors admire this masterpiece on display at the Augustan Exhibition of Roman Culture all those years ago or now through Alinari's lens, they cannot help but be captivated by its timeless allure. Alinari's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured from different angles – from headdresses to hairstyles – showcasing how these elements contributed to defining beauty standards during that period.
