About The Artwork

“Constantine’s Head” is part of a monumental sculpture. The great head, arms and legs of the Colossus were carved from white marble, while the rest of the body consisted of a brick core and wooden framework, possibly covered with gilded bronze. Judging by the size of the remaining pieces, the seated, enthroned figure would have been about 40 feet high. The head is about 7 feet high and each foot is over 6 feet long. The Colossus of Constantine was a statue of the late Roman emperor Constantine the Great (c.280–337) that once occupied the west apse of the Basilica of Maxentius near the Forum Romanum in Rome. Portions of the Colossus now reside in the Courtyard of the Palazzo dei Conservatori of the Musei Capitolini, on the Capitoline Hill, above the west end of the Forum. Precise dating of the statue itself is problematical; it has been suggested that a date of 312–315 for the initial creation of the statue is likely from political considerations, while a substantial reworking of the features after 325 is indicated on art-historical grounds. I shot this image with my Hasselblad 500C with an 80mm Planar lens on Kodak negative film. As are all of my European series photographs - I printed "Constantine's Head" in a traditional darkroom using FujiColor Crystal Archive paper.

Zeny began his fine art photography career by photographing in France and Spain in 1967. His professional work was divided between commercial and Fine Art Photography until 1984, at which time Fine Art Photography became his sole professional work. Zeny’s Fine Art Photographs are printed in limited editions and are signed and numbered by Zeny. Zeny uses a Hasselblad 500C and a Nikon FM2 for the majority of his photographs. In most cases Kodak professional negative film is used and the resulting images have been printed in his darkroom on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper. Beginning in 2020 and continuing to the present day, I have been producing a series of photographs I refer to as my Impressionistic Visions Collection. They differ from rest of my classic, film-based, darkroom- printed Fine Art photographs in that I use digital cameras and the finished prints are produced on a metal substrate. The editions are small - only 15 of each image is made…making each Fine Art photograph from the Impressionistic Visions collection very rare indeed. The Impressionistic Visions collection are straight, non-manipulated, non-photoshopped Fine Art photographs. "I do not specifically start out a day searching for a particular subject to photograph in a preconceived way. I believe that it is essential to allow the day to wash around me and to be surprised with the images that present themselves. Among the private and corporate collectors and more than 40,000 individuals throughout the world who collect color and black & white Fine Art photographs by Zeny are: President/Mrs. Ronald Reagan President/Mrs. Mikhail Gorbachev Ambassador.
