EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Giorgio Sommer, titled "Marble Psyche in the Museo Archeologico in Naples" transports us back to ancient times. Taken between 1864 and 1866, this photograph captures a stunning artwork from the second century known as PDC-F-002061-0000. Displayed at The National Archaeological Museum in Naples, Italy, this marble sculpture depicts a female figure - Psyche. Standing nude and exuding grace and beauty, she embodies both human vulnerability and divine strength. With her delicate features and ethereal presence, she evokes Aphrodite or Venus herself. The Greco-Roman mythology surrounding Psyche tells of her trials and tribulations on her path to love with Eros (Cupid). This timeless tale has captivated audiences for centuries, making Psyche an iconic symbol of love's transformative power. Giorgio Sommer's expertly captured image allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this masterpiece. From every curve of her body to the fine craftsmanship that brings out her essence as a personification of beauty itself. Sommer's skillful composition draws our attention to every aspect of this artwork – from its historical significance as an artifact from ancient times to its enduring relevance today. Through his lens, we are transported into a world where divinities walked among mortals. This remarkable photograph not only showcases Sommer's talent but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of classical artistry. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since their creation, these mythological figures continue to inspire awe and fascination within our hearts and minds.
