EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an acephalous statue of a Roman togatus, dating back to the 1st century AD. The sculpture, housed in the Musee Narbo Via in Narbonne, France, depicts a man dressed in a toga with his right arm elegantly wrapped within the folds of his jacket. This particular posture is reminiscent of renowned Greek orators like Solon or Eschine. The togatus attire worn by this figure symbolizes the authoritative image of a magistrate during their official duties. It offers us a glimpse into the exercise dress code prevalent during ancient Rome's heyday. The sculpture exudes masculinity and virility, capturing the essence of powerful men who once governed over vast territories under the Roman Empire. As we delve into antiquity through this artwork, it becomes evident that every detail has been meticulously crafted by its creator. From the intricate drapery on the toga to the subtle nuances in facial expression (though now missing), this masterpiece stands as a testament to Roman artistry and craftsmanship. Through Patrice Cartier's lens, we are transported back in time to witness not just an artifact but also an embodiment of political power and influence from centuries past. Let this awe-inspiring photograph serve as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and ignite our curiosity about civilizations long gone.
