EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture titled "Faun with Bacchus on his shoulders (from Agro Romano)" that is proudly exhibited at the renowned National Archaeological Museum in Naples. The statue, belonging to the Imperial Period of Roman Art, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into Europe's ancient civilization. Captured between 1879 and 1910 by Alinari, this photograph beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable artwork. The statue portrays a male figure, possibly Pan or Faun, standing tall while carrying Bacchus on his shoulders. Both figures are depicted in their natural form - nude and showcasing the intricacies of human anatomy. The divine connection is evident as Bacchus represents Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and revelry. This portrayal highlights their close association within Greco-Roman mythology. As symbols of fertility and abundance, they are surrounded by fruit-laden vegetation and grapes - representing prosperity and indulgence. The craftsmanship displayed in this sculpture is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail has been meticulously carved to perfection; from the intricate facial expressions to the flowing drapery adorning their bodies. It serves as a testament to the skillful artistry prevalent during this era. Visiting this masterpiece at the National Archaeological Museum allows one to immerse themselves in history while marveling at its artistic brilliance firsthand. The juxtaposition of divinity with humanity creates an intriguing narrative that transcends time. Brogi's photography effortlessly captures not only these details but also evokes a sense of wonderment surrounding this ancient artifact. Through his lens, we can appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty for generations to come.
