EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Marble statue of the god Love from the renowned Farnese Collection, currently housed at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. Captured by Brogi, a master photographer of his time, this image allows us to appreciate and marvel at this remarkable piece of Roman art. Dating back to the 1st or 2nd century AD, this stunning sculpture represents Eros, also known as Cupid in Roman mythology. The male figure stands tall and proud in all its naked glory, showcasing the perfection of human anatomy that was highly revered during ancient times. With every curve and contour meticulously carved out of marble, it is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship prevalent in Greco-Roman art. The divine presence exuded by this statue is palpable; it effortlessly captures both power and vulnerability simultaneously. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to an era where gods walked among mortals and love was considered a force capable of shaping destinies. This photograph not only immortalizes an extraordinary work of art but also serves as a reminder of Europe's rich ancient civilization. It symbolizes our enduring fascination with history and archaeology – our relentless quest to uncover fragments from our past that continue to shape our present understanding. As we contemplate this masterpiece frozen in time through Brogi's lens, let us be reminded that beauty transcends eras and cultures. This print invites us into a world where divinity meets humanity on marble pedestals – an eternal ode to love itself.
