EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of "Hermes resting" by Lysippus, housed in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum of Naples. The statue, dating back to the 4th-3rd centuries BC, is a testament to classical Greek art and its profound influence on ancient civilization. In this mesmerizing portrayal, Hermes, known as the messenger of gods and guide to souls, is depicted in a moment of repose. His divine physique is masterfully sculpted with impeccable attention to detail. The artist Lisippo skillfully captures every sinew and contour of his male form, emphasizing both strength and grace. The photograph itself was taken between 1879-1910 by Brogi from Alinari. It beautifully captures the essence of this timeless artwork; showcasing not only Hermes' physical beauty but also his mythical significance within Greek mythology. As we gaze upon this image, we are drawn into a world where fashion meets divinity. Hermes' iconic winged sandals lie at his feet - an accessory that symbolizes his ability to traverse great distances with unparalleled speed. This subtle inclusion highlights the importance of footwear as both functional necessity and fashionable statement even in ancient times. Through this photograph's lens, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor of classical Greece and its enduring impact on European art history. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation, "Hermes resting" continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and artistic brilliance.
