EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of the renowned statue of Apollo by Polykleitos, housed in the esteemed National Museum of Athens, Greece. The image transports us back to ancient times, capturing the essence of Roman art and European civilization. Dating back to approximately 450 BC, this masterpiece was created by the talented artist Policleto. Although we only see a portion of it in this photograph, one can imagine the sheer magnificence and grandeur that must have emanated from the complete sculpture. Apollo, depicted here in all his divine glory, stands tall and proud. His perfectly sculpted male form is showcased with meticulous attention to detail - every muscle and sinew expertly chiseled. This fragment offers a glimpse into an era where beauty was celebrated through art. The composition invites us to marvel at not just Apollo's physicality but also his mythical significance. As one of Greek mythology's most revered gods, Apollo symbolized light, music, poetry, healing arts, and prophecy. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured this momentous artwork between 1920-1930 AD. , preserving its historical importance for generations to come. Their photographic expertise allows viewers worldwide to appreciate this extraordinary piece without having to physically visit Athens' National Museum. As we gaze upon this print today – adorned with band accessories highlighting fashion trends from that era – we are reminded of how ancient civilizations continue influencing our modern world. The timeless allure of Greco-Roman culture remains ever-present as it transcends time itself.
