EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the rear view of the majestic statue of Apollo, a masterpiece held in the Civic Museum in Mantova. Dating back to the Imperial Period, this Roman artwork is a testament to the rich history and ancient civilization of Europe. The image showcases Apollo from an unusual perspective, allowing us to appreciate his divine presence and intricate details. The muscular male figure stands tall with an air of authority, exuding power and strength. His chiseled features are complemented by a crown of leaves adorning his head, symbolizing his connection with nature. As we gaze at this remarkable sculpture, our eyes are drawn to an unexpected element - a snake gracefully wrapped around Apollo's arm. This reptilian creature adds an intriguing touch to the composition, hinting at mythology and divinity intertwined. The photograph itself was captured between 1915-1920 by Alinari, Fratelli - renowned for their exceptional talent in documenting art pieces. Their expertise shines through as they expertly capture every curve and contour of this extraordinary statue. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur of Greco-Roman artistry. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these masterpieces continue to inspire awe and admiration. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply curious about ancient civilizations, this photograph offers a glimpse into Europe's cultural heritage.
