EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bronze sculpture from the Gallo-Roman era, titled "Figure of a god wearing a torque sitting cross-legged, from Bournay (Essonne)". The image captures the essence of ancient divinity and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of France. The figure depicted in this artwork is that of a deity adorned with an exquisite torque necklace. Sitting in a tailor position, he exudes an aura of tranquility and wisdom. Despite his armless form, his presence emanates strength and power. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this masterpiece now resides at Musee des Antiquites Nationales in St. Germain-en-Laye, France. Its intricate details are beautifully preserved for all to admire. The Gaulish influence on this piece is evident through its crossed legs posture - an iconic characteristic often associated with Celtic artistry. This fusion between Roman and Gaulish cultures creates an intriguing blend that reflects the diverse history of ancient Europe. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the reverence bestowed upon deities during that era. It serves as a reminder of our connection to our ancestors and their spiritual beliefs. With its timeless beauty captured by Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the cultural significance behind it.
