EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Statue of Venus Callipige, a remarkable masterpiece from Nero's Domus Aurea, now residing in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum of Naples. The statue, dating back to the Julio-Claudian Period during the Imperial Period of ancient Rome, is a testament to the unparalleled beauty and artistry of Roman civilization. Captured between 1879 and 1910 by renowned photographer Brogi, this image offers a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved through art. The statue portrays Venus Callipige with grace and elegance, her figure draped in intricately designed clothing that reflects the fashion trends of that time. A delicate veil adorns her head while her hairdo exudes sophistication. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every aspect of this sculpture has been meticulously crafted - from the civilian attire to military accessories - showcasing both divinity and mythology associated with Aphrodite-Venus. Notably, this artwork emphasizes certain parts of the female body including buttocks which were celebrated during that period for their aesthetic appeal. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are transported back to an era where Greco-Roman influences shaped European culture. This artifact represents not only artistic excellence but also serves as a window into ancient civilizations' beliefs and values. Alinari has skillfully captured this timeless piece in all its glory without compromising its historical significance or commercializing it. Through their lens, they have allowed us to appreciate and admire one of Rome's most treasured artworks – an enduring symbol of beauty transcending time itself.
