EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Doryphorus (or 'Spear Gate')" marble sculpture, a masterpiece created by the Roman artist in the 1st century AD. The original statue was sculpted by Polyclete, a renowned Greek sculptor from the 5th century BC. Unfortunately, the original bronze artwork has been lost to time, but this particular marble copy is preserved at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy. Depicting a young warrior holding a spear, The Doryphorus exudes strength and grace. Its intricate details and flawless craftsmanship are evident even through this photograph captured by Luisa Ricciarini. The sculpture's smooth marble surface beautifully accentuates every curve and contour of the warrior's body. As we gaze upon this ancient work of art, we are transported back to classical Greece where athleticism and beauty were highly revered. This piece represents not only physical prowess but also embodies ideals of youthfulness and nobility. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures the essence of this timeless masterpiece with her lens, allowing us to appreciate its magnificence from afar. Through her photography, she invites us into a world where ancient sculptures continue to inspire awe and admiration for their enduring beauty.
