EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic presence of the "Farnese Hercules" a bronze copy of a Lisippo original, proudly displayed at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. The statue stands tall, emanating strength and power as it dominates its surroundings. Etched onto this remarkable work of art are the words that reveal its origins - "GlyKon, Athenian". These inscriptions provide us with valuable insight into both the name and homeland of the skilled copyist responsible for recreating this masterpiece. Glykon's craftsmanship pays homage to his Athenian heritage, showcasing his talent for capturing every intricate detail with precision. The Farnese Hercules is an epitome of Roman Art from the Imperial Period, representing Europe's ancient civilization at its finest. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this sculpture has stood the test of time and continues to captivate viewers even today. In this photograph taken between 1879-1910 by Brogi from Alinari, we witness not only a portrayal of Hercules but also an embodiment of mythology itself. The hero is depicted wearing nothing but an animal skin draped over his muscular physique, symbolizing his immense strength and bravery. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image, we cannot help but be transported back in time to an era where Greco-Roman culture thrived. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends generations and connects us all through our shared human experiences. This print immortalizes not just a magnificent piece of artwork but also encapsulates centuries' worth of history within its frame. Its beauty lies not only in its visual appeal but also in how it evokes emotions and sparks curiosity about our past civilizations.
