EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient Roman sculpture of Pan and Hermaphrodite, dating back to the 1st century AD. Standing at a height of 105 cm, this marble masterpiece is held in a private collection. The artwork delves into themes of desire, mythology, and intersexuality. The figures depicted are engaged in a struggle, with the nude Hermaphrodite desperately trying to break free from Pan's grasp. Symbolism abounds as Pan is often associated with goatskin and represents masculinity and wild nature. This classical piece draws inspiration from mythological tales where gods and mortals intertwine. It explores the complex relationship between male and female identities through its portrayal of an intersex figure like Hermaphrodite. With its intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this fragmentary sculpture offers us a glimpse into the ancient world's fascination with myths, paganism, and polytheistic religions. Its depiction of nudity challenges societal norms while highlighting the beauty found within bare vulnerability. As we gaze upon this remarkable work captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness both the violent struggle between these mythological beings and their eternal presence within our collective consciousness.
