EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a small statue depicting the mighty Apollo, found within the serene walls of the Carthusian monastery of San Martino, now known as the Naples National Museum. Steeped in history and Roman art, this sculpture hails from the Imperial Period and represents an ancient civilization that continues to fascinate us. Dating back to approximately 1st century BC - 4th century AD, this remarkable artwork captures Apollo's divine presence with exquisite detail. Dressed in elegant Greco-Roman attire, he stands proudly on a terrestrial horse-drawn carriage. The image transports us to a bygone era where transportation was marked by two-wheeled carriages and bridles guided majestic horses along their journey. Apollo himself is portrayed as a male deity of great significance in mythology. As one of the most revered gods in ancient times, his depiction here exudes power and grace. This photograph allows us to witness not only his physical beauty but also appreciate how fashion and clothing played a role even during those distant times. The composition skillfully frames this masterpiece against a backdrop that evokes scenes from ancient landscapes traversed by land. A wheel positioned near Apollo adds an intriguing object into the mix while reminding us of historical modes of transportation. Preserved through time, Alinari Fratelli's lens captured this timeless piece between 1915-1920 ca. , immortalizing it for generations to come. As we gaze upon this extraordinary snapshot today, we are reminded once again of our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and their artistic achievements – forever preserved within museums like Naples' National Museum of San Martino.
