EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bust of a man, believed to be the mythical figure Apollo, adorned with a laurel crown. Created during the late 2nd to early 3rd century, this Roman fresco is housed in the Musee Narbo Via in Narbonne, France. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this artwork transport viewers back to the ancient world. The subject's serene expression and perfectly sculpted features evoke a sense of divinity and heavenly grace. As one gazes upon this masterpiece, it becomes evident that it was created by an artist who possessed great skill and reverence for their subject. The laurel wreath encircling the man's head symbolizes victory and honor in ancient mythology. It serves as a testament to his godly status or perhaps signifies his association with Apollo, known as the god of music, poetry, prophecy, healing, and more. This piece not only reflects on pagan beliefs prevalent during antiquity but also highlights the rich religious tapestry woven throughout history. Through its vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes preserved over centuries on these frescoed walls, we are granted a glimpse into ancient Rome's artistic legacy. Patrice Cartier expertly captures this stunning work through his lens; allowing us to appreciate its beauty even from afar. This photograph serves as both an homage to classical artistry and an invitation for contemporary audiences to explore our shared cultural heritage.
