EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a tragic theatre mask from the 1st or 2nd century, originating from the Roman era. The low relief sculpture is believed to have been a burial stone, representing the deep emotions and expressions associated with tragedy in ancient theater. The mask's intricate details and hair style reflect the artistic craftsmanship of the Roman Empire, offering a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage. Despite its age, this artifact has managed to survive through time and find its place within the walls of Narbonne in France. Reused during the construction of Narbonne's walls in the sixteenth century, this piece now resides at Musee Narbo Via de Narbonne Museum. Its presence serves as a reminder of both ancient Rome's influence on art and culture and how history can be repurposed for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where theater played an essential role in society. The mask evokes feelings of fear, panic, and raw emotion that were conveyed by actors on stage centuries ago. Through Patrice Cartier's lens, this photograph immortalizes not only an exquisite work of art but also captures our fascination with antiquity and our enduring connection to human expression through theater.
