EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-A-004676-0010" transports us back in time to the ancient city of Pompei. The focal point of this image is a magnificent Greek statue known as Narciss, crafted from shimmering bronze. This remarkable piece of art now resides within the hallowed halls of the National Archaeology Museum in Naples. The photograph was taken between 1875 and 1885, capturing the essence of an era long gone. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to marvel at the intricate details that make up this timeless masterpiece. Dating back to the 4th or 1st century BC, Narciss stands as a testament to Greco-Roman mythology and its enduring influence on art. Narciss's chiseled physique is showcased with pride in this image. His nudity serves not only as an artistic expression but also symbolizes his vulnerability and connection with nature. The absence of clothing highlights his flawless form while emphasizing his role as a personification of beauty. Intriguingly, Narciss holds a sandal—a subtle reminder that even gods require footwear for their earthly pursuits. This accessory adds depth to our understanding of ancient fashion and clothing practices prevalent during that time. Brogi's masterful photography captures every nuance and texture present on Narciss's body, immortalizing it for generations to come. Through this lens, we are transported into antiquity; we can almost feel the cool touch of bronze beneath our fingertips. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring artwork frozen in time by Alinari's lens, let us appreciate its historical significance beyond mere commercial use. May it serve as a reminder that beauty transcends time and continues to inspire us today
