EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of a Bust of Quintus Herennius as an adolescent, carefully preserved within the hallowed halls of the Capitoline Museum in Rome. The exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every delicate feature, transporting us back to ancient times. Dating back to approximately the 2nd century BC - 1st century AD, this remarkable artwork is a testament to Roman artistry and European ancient civilization. The artist skillfully sculpted Quintus Herennius' youthful face, capturing his innocence and vulnerability with precision. Every contour is meticulously carved, from his perfectly coiffed hairdo to his expressive eyes that seem to hold countless untold stories. The bust's nudity serves as a reminder of its historical context; it was customary for artists during this era to depict adolescents without clothing as a symbol of purity and youthfulness. This artistic choice adds an additional layer of authenticity and rawness that transports viewers into Quintus Herennius' world. Photographed around 1890 by Anderson from Alinari, this print beautifully showcases the intricate details while preserving its original essence. It invites us on a journey through time, allowing us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also the rich history behind this extraordinary piece. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrait, we can't help but marvel at how art has transcended centuries, connecting us with our past and reminding us of our shared humanity. The Bust of Quintus Herennius stands as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity—a masterpiece frozen in time for generations to come.
