EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Antonio Canova's masterpiece, "Apollo crowning Himself". Created between 1781 and 1782, this marble sculpture showcases Canova's exceptional talent and mastery in neoclassical art. In this image, we witness Apollo, the Greek god of light and music, as he adorns himself with a crown. The artist skillfully portrays Apollo's naked form, emphasizing his masculine beauty and divine power. The smoothness of the marble enhances the sensual nature of the sculpture while also highlighting its intricate details. Canova expertly combines mythology with neoclassicism in this artwork. By depicting Apollo on Mount Olympus, surrounded by other mythical figures from ancient Greece, he transports us to a world where gods reign supreme. The photograph beautifully captures every angle and curve of Canova's statue. It allows us to appreciate not only the technical brilliance but also the emotional depth conveyed through Apollo's expression. Displayed at J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this piece stands as a testament to Canova's enduring legacy as one of history's greatest sculptors. Its presence evokes awe and admiration for both its artistic merit and its ability to transcend time. Ghigo Roli has masterfully captured this momentous artwork through his lens, ensuring that viewers can experience its magnificence even if they are unable to see it firsthand themselves.
