Years ago when I visited Chesterwood I fell in love with this beautiful sculpture. Daniel said he made this statue "for no particular reason" other than he felt like making it. I'm so glad he did. This was one of my biggest reasons for returning to Chesterwood again.

The Young Octavian Attributed to Edmonia Lewis

White marble, on a white marble socle. 47cm., 18 1/2 in. overall.

Caesar Augustus (born Gaius Octavius; 23 September 63 BC – 19 August AD 14), also known as Octavian, was the founder of the Roman Empire; he reigned as the first Roman emperor from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. The reign of Augustus initiated an imperial cult as well as an era associated with imperial peace, the Pax Romana or Pax Augusta, in which the Roman world was largely free of armed conflict aside from expansionary wars and the Year of the Four Emperors. The Principate system of imperial rule established by Augustus lasted until the Crisis of the Third Century.

Sometimes it is not about making art. Sometimes it is about making statements about culture and history or history and culture with or through art. — Richard Hunt
