EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Statue of Dionysus, a masterpiece crafted in white marble during the years 120-130 AD. The statue, housed in the prestigious Villa Borghese gallery in Rome, Italy, exudes an aura of divine beauty and ancient allure. With its modern head juxtaposed against the classical body, this artwork represents a fascinating blend of past and present. Dionysus, known as Bacchus in Roman mythology, is depicted here with intricate details that highlight his youthfulness and godly essence. His flowing hair style adds to his ethereal charm while emphasizing his status as a deity. The sculpture's nudity symbolizes both vulnerability and power, reflecting the dichotomy often associated with mythological figures. As the god of wine and revelry, Dionysus holds an amphora or jug—a potent symbol of intoxication—emphasizing his association with alcohol and celebration. This piece invites contemplation on themes such as paganism, religion, and ancient Roman culture. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and polytheistic beliefs. Captured by Frank Buffetrille's lens with remarkable precision, this photograph preserves every delicate detail for us to admire. Its composition allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the historical significance behind this second-century masterpiece from Italy's rich artistic heritage.
