EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of ancient civilization, as it showcases the Apollo Citaredo statue preserved in all its glory at the Borghese Museum within Villa Borghese, Rome. The image, taken around 1890, transports us back to a time when Roman art reigned supreme. The Apollo Citaredo statue stands tall and proud, embodying both strength and grace. This magnificent piece of Greco-Roman artwork dates back to the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD. It depicts Apollo, the Greek god associated with music and poetry, holding a cithare - an instrument often used in ancient times for musical performances or documentation. The male figure is depicted nude, showcasing his perfectly sculpted human body. His divine presence is further emphasized by his laurel wreath adorning his head – a symbol of victory and accomplishment. Drapery delicately cascades down from his waistline, adding an element of elegance to this already awe-inspiring sculpture. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Anderson from Alinari's lens, we are transported into a world where mythology intertwines with reality. The Apollo Citaredo statue serves as a testament to mankind's fascination with divinity throughout history. This print not only offers us a glimpse into Europe's rich artistic heritage but also acts as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation; this masterpiece continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Its preservation within the walls of the Borghese Museum ensures that future generations can appreciate and marvel at this extraordinary example of ancient craftsmanship.
