EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the "Statue of Achilles and Troilus" housed in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum of Naples. The statue, a remarkable example of Roman art dating back to the 1st century BC - 4th century AD, stands as a testament to Europe's ancient civilization. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness Achilles, a legendary figure from Greek mythology, depicted in his full glory. His muscular nude body is flawlessly sculpted with meticulous attention to detail. Standing beside him is Troilus, a young child who holds an important role in the stories surrounding Achilles. The composition of this artwork is truly striking; it showcases both human and vegetal elements harmoniously intertwined. A laurel wreath adorns Achilles' head, symbolizing victory and honor bestowed upon him by gods. Surrounding them are lush vegetation that adds depth and context to their mythological narrative. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this timeless masterpiece through their lens during the early 20th century (1920-1930 ca. ). Their photographic expertise brings out every intricate feature while preserving its historical significance for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to an era where myths and legends shaped civilizations. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage rooted in Greco-Roman traditions. This photograph not only celebrates artistic brilliance but also invites us to delve into ancient tales that continue to captivate our imagination even after centuries have passed.
