EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman sculpture, depicting a beef or bull head adorned with an exquisite garland. Created by the skilled hands of a Roman artist during the 1st to 3rd century AD, this artwork now finds its home in the Musee Narbo Via in Narbonne, France. The intricate details and ornate decoration on this sculpted piece are truly awe-inspiring. It is believed that this masterpiece might have served as a taurobolic altar, symbolizing the significance of bulls in ancient Roman culture. As we gaze upon this image captured by Patrice Cartier, we are transported back to the grandeur of the Roman Empire. The craftsmanship and artistry displayed here reflect not only their reverence for animals but also their appreciation for beauty and aesthetics. Intriguingly, this sculpture raises questions about the role of beef and meat consumption in ancient Rome. Perhaps it was created as an homage to food or even served as a decorative element during lavish feasts. Regardless of its original purpose, there is no denying that this artwork stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. Through Patrice Cartier's lens, we can marvel at the fusion of nature and human creativity embodied within this mesmerizing depiction of antiquity.
