EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from Antonio Canova's masterpiece, "Dance of Alcinous Children". Created in 1790-02, this plaster sculpture captures the essence of beauty and grace. The Fondazione Cariplo in Milan, Lombardy, Italy is fortunate to house this exquisite artwork. In this particular detail, we are transported into the enchanting world of Greek mythology. The scene depicts the children of Alcinous engaged in a lively dance. Their nakedness symbolizes purity and innocence while emphasizing their youthful energy and freedom. Antonio Canova's mastery shines through as he skillfully sculpts each figure with precision and elegance. The male dancer exudes an undeniable sense of masculine beauty that adds depth to the composition. This neoclassical piece perfectly embodies the artistic style prevalent during the 18th century. The relief sculpture beautifully captures movement and rhythm, making it feel almost alive before our eyes. It is evident that music plays a significant role in inspiring these young dancers as they gracefully glide across the stage. Ghigo Roli's expert photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Canova's work. Through his lens, we can marvel at the delicate contours and textures created by plaster. This print serves as a testament to both Canova's genius as a sculptor and Roli's talent behind the camera lens. It invites us into a world where mythological tales come alive through artistry and imagination.
