EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Water Seller" a remarkable work of art created by Vincenzo Gemito. Located in the prestigious National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, this statue is a testament to Gemito's mastery and skill as an artist. Crafted during the 19th century, "The Water Seller" exemplifies realism at its finest. The sculpture depicts a male adolescent, his body rendered with astonishing detail and precision. With every curve and contour expertly captured, Gemito brings forth both the physiological and psychological aspects of the human form. In this particular image captured around 1938, we see the statue standing proudly within the gallery walls. The young water seller holds an object that appears to be a jar, symbolizing his trade. His face bears a subtle smile or perhaps even laughter, adding depth to his character and evoking curiosity about his story. Gemito's artwork transports us back to Europe during the first millennium A. D. , immersing us in history while simultaneously resonating with contemporary audiences. This timeless piece serves as a reminder of our shared humanity across centuries. Alinari has beautifully photographed this masterpiece from their collection without any mention of commercial use or company affiliation. Their attention to detail ensures that viewers can appreciate every nuance and texture present in Gemito's creation. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by the beauty of the human form, this print offers an opportunity for contemplation and appreciation for one of Italy's most celebrated sculptors – Vincenzo Gemito – whose legacy continues to inspire generations today.
