EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient world of Roman art. The subject of this image is a remarkable sculpture known as the "Roman copy of the Doryphoros by Polykleitos" which can be found within the hallowed halls of the Vatican Museums in Vatican City. The Doryphoros, originally created by renowned artist Polycleitus during the 1st century BC to 4th century AD, showcases an exquisite male nude figure. This masterpiece perfectly captures the beauty and harmony that were highly valued in ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. In this photograph taken around 1923, we see every intricate detail of this iconic statue's form. The muscular physique is flawlessly chiseled, emphasizing strength and athleticism. The figure holds a staff or cane-like object, adding an intriguing element to its composition. Surrounding this magnificent work of art are lush vegetal elements that further enhance its grandeur. These natural surroundings provide a serene backdrop for contemplation and reflection on both human achievement and our connection with nature. Anderson's skillful photography brings out the timeless quality of this Roman copy, allowing us to appreciate it anew. Through his lens, we are transported across centuries to witness firsthand one of Europe's most treasured pieces from ancient civilization. This print serves as a testament not only to Anderson's talent but also to our enduring fascination with classical artistry. It reminds us that even though time may pass, great works like these continue to inspire awe and admiration among all who encounter them.
