EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of an ancient masterpiece, "Drunken old woman" believed to be a copy of an original work by Myron. Preserved in the renowned Capitoline Museum in Rome, this statue dates back to the Republican Period, showcasing the remarkable talent of Roman art. The image itself was captured between 1915-1920, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The subject is an elderly woman who appears intoxicated, her face etched with lines that tell stories of a long life lived. Dressed in period clothing and fashion, she stands as a testament to the ancient civilization that once thrived in Europe. Every detail has been meticulously preserved - from her weathered leather bag to the bottle clutched tightly within her grasp. This portrait not only showcases physical attributes but also delves into deeper physiological and psychological aspects associated with old age. Brogi's photographic expertise allows us to appreciate this artwork beyond its historical significance. Through his lens, we are transported back in time; we can almost hear whispers echoing through marble halls as visitors marvel at this exquisite creation. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us – their struggles and triumphs immortalized through art. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times and evolving civilizations, there will always be beauty found within individual stories. This photograph is more than just documentation; it encapsulates centuries of human existence while inviting contemplation on themes such as aging and mortality. Its timeless appeal transcends commercial use or monetary value – instead serving as a powerful symbol of our shared humanity across generations.
