Constantine I--Emperor of Rome---337
Description
Profile view of the colossal bust of Constantine. "These marble fragments are from a colossal seated statue of Constantine, about 30 feet high ... Stylistically, this image still has some elements of individualistic portraiture (the hooked nose, for example); at the same time it illustrates the trends in late Roman works to focus on symbolic and abstracted elements: the "image" of authority or the "image" of spirituality, as indicated by the large otherworldly eyes,"--by Mary Ann Sullivan, Bluffton University.
