EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent marble statue of Cupid, originally crafted by the renowned Greek sculptor Lysippus. Currently housed at the prestigious Capitoline Museum in Rome, this masterpiece stands as a testament to the rich history and artistic brilliance of Hellenistic Greece. Dating back to approximately the 1st century BC to the 2nd century AD, this exquisite artwork captures every intricate detail of Cupid's divine form. The male figure is depicted in all his naked glory, showcasing the flawless human body that has long been associated with classical beauty. With wings gracefully extended from his back, Cupid exudes an ethereal aura that symbolizes his status as a divine being. The photograph also highlights various elements surrounding the statue. An inscription can be seen on its base, hinting at some ancient communication or dedication related to this allegorical representation of love and desire. A snake slithers near Cupid's feet, adding an intriguing touch that may hold symbolic significance within Greco-Roman mythology. Taken between 1915-1920 by acclaimed photographer Brogi Giacomo from Alinari's photographic studio, this image not only serves as a remarkable find for archeology enthusiasts but also offers viewers a glimpse into Europe's ancient civilization. It transports us back in time to appreciate the timeless allure of Greek art while marveling at how it continues to captivate audiences even after centuries have passed. Whether you are an admirer of classical sculpture or simply intrigued by historical artifacts, this stunning print invites you on a visual journey through time - one where divinity meets humanity and where art becomes an eternal expression of beauty and emotion.
