EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent sculpture of "Adonis or Apollo from Capua" a Roman copy dating back to the Hadrian Period. The artwork is currently housed in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum in Naples, Italy. The statue depicts a male figure, completely nude and displaying the flawless beauty of the human body. With its exquisite craftsmanship, it embodies both strength and grace, capturing the essence of divinity. This portrayal can be attributed to either Adonis or Apollo, two prominent figures from ancient mythology. The photograph was taken between 1879 and 1910 by Brogi, an acclaimed photographer known for his exceptional documentation of historical artifacts. His skillful lens captures every intricate detail of this masterpiece with remarkable clarity. As we delve into this image further, we notice that alongside the divine figure stands a trunk adorned with vegetal elements. This composition adds depth and symbolism to the artwork, representing nature's connection to these mythical beings. Dating back to the Imperial Period during Greco-Roman civilization in Europe, this sculpture exemplifies Roman art at its finest. Its creation during the Archhadrianic period reflects not only artistic brilliance but also cultural significance. This print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with classical mythology and our continuous admiration for ancient civilizations' artistic achievements. It allows us to appreciate their mastery while providing insight into their beliefs and values.
