EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable sculpture of Emperor Antoninus Pius, created by the renowned artist Antico (Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi) during the years 1519-22. Crafted from bronze and partly gilded, this masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 64.1 centimeters and is currently housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Emperor Antoninus Pius, who reigned from 138 to 161 AD, was a significant figure in Roman history. Adopted by Hadrian as his successor when he was already 51 years old, Antoninus Pius proved himself to be a devout and pious leader throughout his rule. This sculpture beautifully captures his regal presence with its intricate metalwork and attention to detail. The emperor's bearded face exudes wisdom and authority, while his piercing eyes convey both strength and compassion. The subtle gilding adds a touch of opulence to this classical portrait that epitomizes ancient Roman artistry. Antoninus Pius' reign marked a period of stability for the Roman Empire, earning him a reputation as a good ruler. His saintly demeanor is evident in this sculpture, which serves as an enduring testament to his legacy. This photograph not only highlights the artistic mastery behind Antico's work but also invites viewers into an exploration of antiquity through its depiction of one of Rome's most influential leaders.
