EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing sculpture titled "Winged Gorgon" created by Rubaldo Merello between 1915 and 1918. Standing at a height of 36 centimeters, this chalk masterpiece is housed in a private collection under the care of Luisa Ricciarini. The Winged Gorgon exudes an air of mystique and power, drawing inspiration from Greek classical mythology. The statue portrays a female figure with wings, her head beheaded and held aloft in one hand while brandishing it menacingly in the other. This evocative depiction captures the essence of ancient myths surrounding decapitation and monsters. Merello's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully sculpts every curve and contour, bringing life to stone through his artistry. The sculpture's three-quarter length composition adds depth to its narrative, inviting viewers into a world where gods and goddesses reign supreme. With its nod to pagan polytheism, this artwork explores themes of religion and spirituality prevalent during that era. It challenges conventional notions of beauty by embracing nudity as an artistic expression rather than mere titillation. Luisa Ricciarini's photograph preserves this exquisite piece for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate the mastery behind Merello's creation. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time - immersed in the rich tapestry of mythological tales that continue to captivate our imagination today.
