EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite Head of Alexander Severus, a remarkable piece of Roman art that has found its home in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris. The photograph was taken by Alinari, Fratelli, during the Mostra Augustea della Romanit exhibition held between 1937 and 1938. The image showcases the head of Alexander Severus with utmost precision and detail. Every contour and feature is beautifully captured, allowing viewers to marvel at this ancient masterpiece. This particular artwork dates back to around 222-235 AD, belonging to the Imperial Period of Rome. As we gaze upon this striking portrait, we are transported back in time to an era when great emperors ruled over vast territories. The stoic expression on Alexander Severus' face speaks volumes about his leadership qualities and strength as a ruler. It is fascinating how this photograph not only highlights the artistic brilliance but also serves as a testament to human civilization's rich history. It reminds us of Europe's ancient roots and its contributions to shaping our modern world. The composition emphasizes both the beauty of male portraiture within Roman art and its significance within European culture. The nudity depicted here represents vulnerability yet exudes power simultaneously—a timeless representation that transcends centuries. Now housed within one of the most renowned museums globally—the Louvre—this artwork continues to captivate visitors from all corners of the globe. Its presence evokes awe-inspiring admiration for those who appreciate historical artifacts that have stood against time's relentless passage. Alinari's skillful photography allows us access into a moment frozen in history—an opportunity for us all to appreciate and learn from these magnificent remnants of our past civilizations.
