Man van het jaar #8

A solitary Roman soldier stands before a grand temple in this striking 2017 entry in the Man van het jaar series, the warm amber sky casting a dramatic backdrop over the imposing architecture. The subtitle — De man die Caesar wilde wreken ("The man who wanted to avenge Caesar") — sets a mood of singular purpose and historical weight. By Latour, Bennato, and Nucera, this album-format issue delivers the kind of atmospheric historical storytelling the series does so well.
