EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of Meleager and his chlamys" a Roman copy in marble of the original Greek masterpiece by Scopas. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this remarkable sculpture is housed within the Musei e Gallerie Pontificie, specifically located in Vatican City. The statue depicts Meleager, a prominent figure from Greek mythology known for his heroic hunting skills. With an air of strength and determination, he stands tall while holding a walking stick or cane in one hand. His other arm rests on his side as he wears a flowing cloak called a chlamys draped over his shoulder. Every detail of this artwork speaks volumes about its craftsmanship and historical significance. The intricate carving brings out Meleager's muscular physique and captures the essence of ancient Roman civilization. This particular piece also symbolizes bravery, as it portrays him with attributes associated with hunting such as dogs and boars. As we admire this photograph taken by Vincenzo Pirozzi, we are transported back in time to witness the mastery of both Scopas' original creation and its subsequent Roman reproduction. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and our desire to immortalize these legendary figures through art.
