EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait Bust of an Aristocratic Woman and Portrait Bust of an Aristocratic Man" from the Roman Imperial Period. Crafted in marble, these stunning busts measure 31.5x19x10.8 wt:11.15 lbs (woman) and 33.5x20.1x10 wt:13.0 lbs cm (man), respectively. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is that it depicts the same aristocratic couple three times, with only minor variations in their costumes. These busts were allegedly discovered alongside the Jonah Marbles, suggesting that they may have been commissioned by Christian patrons who also sponsored the creation of the Jonah cycle. The attention to detail in these sculptures is awe-inspiring; every delicate feature is expertly carved into the marble surface, bringing these ancient figures to life before our eyes. The woman's regal beauty emanates through her graceful pose and refined expression, while the man exudes a sense of authority and power with his strong features and dignified countenance. Displayed at Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this pair of portrait busts serves as a testament to both Roman artistry and early Christian patronage during a significant period in history – bridging two distinct eras within one masterpiece. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are granted a glimpse into ancient Rome's aristocracy and their enduring legacy captured for eternity in stone sculpture. "
