EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Drunken Faun" bronze statue, a remarkable piece of Roman art discovered in Herculaneum. Preserved with utmost care at the prestigious National Archaeological Museum in Naples, this masterpiece is a testament to the ancient civilization that once thrived in Europe. The photograph was taken between 1879 and 1910, capturing every intricate detail of this magnificent sculpture. Dating back to 323-31 BC, it portrays a male figure who appears both mischievous and intoxicated. The faun's nudity emphasizes his vulnerability while showcasing the human body as an object of artistic expression. With its expressive gesture and instrument, this minor divinity communicates a sense of playfulness and joviality. Adorned with animal skin draped over his shoulder, he embodies the mythical creature known as Pan or Faun from Greco-Roman mythology. As we delve into this image captured by Brogi for Alinari, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and craftsmanship of ancient Rome. This artwork not only reflects their artistic prowess but also provides insight into their beliefs and cultural practices. Let us marvel at how art transcends time; allowing us to connect with our ancestors through visual storytelling. As we gaze upon this stunning portrayal of a drunken faun, let us appreciate its historical significance within European history while acknowledging its place among other renowned sculptures housed within Naples' National Archaeological Museum.
