EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent sculpture "Pyrrhus and Astianatte" by Lorenzo Bartolini, on display at the esteemed Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan. The artwork, created between 1800 and 1808, is a prime example of Neoclassicism in the nineteenth century. The photograph itself was taken around 1915-1920 by renowned Italian photographer Brogi Giacomo from Alinari's photographic establishment. It beautifully captures the intricate details of Bartolini's masterpiece, allowing viewers to appreciate its artistic brilliance even through a two-dimensional medium. In this sculpture, Bartolini skillfully depicts Pyrrhus, a prominent figure from Greek mythology and history. He stands tall with an imposing military helmet adorning his head, representing his role as a warrior. Astianatte, Pyrrhus' young son and another central character from Homer's Iliad epic poem, is depicted alongside him. The composition exudes elegance and grace as it combines elements of both classical Greco-Roman artistry and contemporary fashion trends prevalent during the early nineteenth century in Europe. The contrast between Pyrrhus' muscular physique and Astianatte's youthful innocence adds depth to their portrayal. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Brogi Giacomo's lens over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness these mythical characters brought to life through stone sculpting mastery. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of art that transcends generations while also highlighting Italy's rich cultural heritage preserved within museums like Poldi Pezzoli. Note
