EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Gallo-Roman art: a bronze statuette depicting the god in the mallet or Sucellus. Standing at 24 cm tall, this exquisite artwork is housed in the Museum of National Archaeology in Saint Germain en Laye, France. The statuette portrays a mythological character from ancient Gaulish and Roman culture, capturing their belief in deities and their artistic prowess. The intricate carving and attention to detail highlight the skill of the artist who created this masterpiece. Sucellus, also known as "the god with the hammer" was revered for his association with agriculture, fertility, and abundance. This depiction showcases him holding a mallet or hammer symbolizing his power over nature's forces. The bronze material adds to its allure by giving it an air of timelessness and durability. It serves as a testament to both the craftsmanship of Gallo-Roman artists and our ability to preserve such treasures throughout history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to ancient times when gods were worshipped fervently and art served as a medium for storytelling and reverence. It reminds us of our connection to past civilizations while igniting our curiosity about their beliefs and way of life. Through this image captured by Photo Josse, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance that Gallo-Roman art holds within its delicate features.
