EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a life-size figure of Rhodopis on a plinth, sculpted in 1862 by Charles Francis Fuller. The marble sculpture stands tall at 57x164x63.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The intricate details of this neoclassical masterpiece are truly mesmerizing. Rhodopis, the mythological courtesan from ancient Greece, is depicted reclining gracefully with her eyes closed, as if lost in peaceful slumber. Her naked form exudes elegance and vulnerability, while an eagle perches delicately on her foot. The mottled pink marble-veneered plinth adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the sculpture, showcasing Fuller's meticulous craftsmanship. The artist has even inscribed his signature and date - C. F FULLER 1862 - onto the plinth itself. This photograph beautifully captures the essence of Rhodopis' mythical allure and timeless beauty. It invites viewers to delve into Greek mythology and explore themes of femininity, nudity, and sleep through art. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, this piece serves as a testament to Fuller's artistic prowess and his ability to breathe life into stone. A true treasure for any art enthusiast or lover of classical mythology alike.
