EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Roman comic masks found in Sabratha, Libya. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, these relief carvings were discovered within the ancient theater of Sabratha, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of Roman entertainment. The masks depicted in this image are an exquisite example of artistic expression and theatricality. Each mask boasts intricate details that bring forth a range of emotions and characters from the comedic realm. From exaggerated grimaces to sharp features, these stone sculptures truly capture the essence of drama and humor. Sabratha itself is an archaeological site steeped in history, located on Africa's northern coast. Once part of ancient Rome, this city served as a significant hub for trade and culture during its heyday. The discovery of these comic masks further highlights the rich artistic heritage that thrived within this region centuries ago. Photographer Vivienne Sharp has masterfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the cultural significance behind these artifacts through her lens. This evocative photograph serves as a testament to both human creativity and our enduring fascination with storytelling throughout time.
