EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Boboli Garden in Florence. In the foreground, a magnificent granite basin steals the spotlight, reflecting its surroundings with crystal clarity. As we gaze further into this enchanting scene, our eyes are drawn to an exquisite statue of Pegaso, the mythical winged horse from Greek mythology. The artist behind this remarkable sculpture is Aristodemo Costoli, a master craftsman of the 19th century. His attention to detail and skillful execution are evident in every curve and contour of Pegaso's form. This hybrid figure stands as a testament to both ancient Greco-Roman artistry and European artistic traditions that thrived during the first and second millennia AD. Photographed by Giacomo Brogi around 1890, this image transports us back in time to witness not only Costoli's masterpiece but also showcases Europe's rich cultural heritage during that era. The photograph itself is a work of art, capturing every intricate detail with precision and finesse. As we immerse ourselves in this visual feast for the senses, it becomes clear why arts and handicrafts from the 19th century continue to captivate audiences today. The delicate balance between realism and mythological symbolism found within Pegaso embodies timeless themes that resonate across generations. Let this print serve as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with nature, mythology, and artistic expression. It invites us to explore history through visual storytelling while appreciating how past works can inspire contemporary creations.
