EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Head of Antinous in Egyptian style" sculpture, crafted from red quartzite during 130-138 AD. The artwork, attributed to a Roman artist from the 2nd century, is currently housed in the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen museum in Dresden, Germany. Antinous, a Bithynian Greek youth, held a special place in the heart of Emperor Hadrian and was considered his beloved or lover. This portrait immortalizes Antinous' youthful features and beautifully combines elements of both Greek and Egyptian art styles. The use of red quartzite adds an intriguing touch to this classical masterpiece. The stone's warm hue enhances the lifelike qualities of Antinous' visage while providing a striking contrast against his smooth marble-like skin. Every detail has been meticulously carved by skilled hands: from the delicate facial features to the flowing locks cascading down his neck. This bust exudes an aura of serenity and beauty that captivates all who gaze upon it. As we admire this remarkable work of art through Stefano Baldini's lens, we are transported back in time to witness the enduring love between Hadrian and Antinous. It serves as a testament not only to their relationship but also to the timeless power that art possesses in capturing human emotions for generations to come.
