EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the bust of Aelius Caesar, a prominent figure from ancient Rome. Created by the talented artist Roger Fenton in 1854-58, this piece beautifully captures the essence of Aelius with its intricate details and striking composition. Aelius Caesar, also known as Lucius Aelius Caesar or Lucius Ceionius Commodus, was an influential male figure in Roman history. His bearded countenance exudes wisdom and power, reflecting his status as a significant member of society during that time. Roger Fenton's expertise in photography is evident through this salted paper print from a glass negative. The monochromatic tones add depth to the sculpture's features while emphasizing its historical significance. This artwork serves as a testament to Fenton's mastery in capturing both beauty and historical context within his photographs. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph invites viewers to delve into ancient Roman culture and appreciate the artistry behind it. It stands as a reminder of our rich heritage and offers us an opportunity to connect with history on a deeper level. Through Fenton's lens, we are transported back to the nineteenth century when art played an integral role in documenting human civilization. This print not only preserves Aelius Caesar's legacy but also highlights Roger Fenton's contribution to the world of photography as he immortalizes important figures for generations to come.
