EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Roman art, known as the "Bear Show" dating back to the 2nd - 3rd century. Engraved on a marble tablet, this fragment depicts an intriguing scene of entertainment or a show featuring bears dressed at the edge of vats where men bathe. Located in the Musee Narbo Via in Narbonne, France, this artifact offers us a glimpse into the fascinating world of Ursarius, an upper Roman Empire bear trainer. The image evokes feelings of awe and curiosity as we observe these majestic creatures being tamed and controlled by their human counterparts. The skillful carving and attention to detail highlight the artistic prowess prevalent during antiquity. As we delve into this artwork's historical context, it becomes evident that it symbolizes more than just mere amusement. It represents themes such as masculinity, virility, and man's ability to tame nature itself. The presence of bears further emphasizes their significance in ancient Rome's culture and fascination with wildlife. Through this photograph print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness one of Rome's grand performances unfold before our eyes. This exquisite relic serves as a testament to humanity's enduring desire for entertainment and our eternal connection with animals throughout history.
