EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of ancient Greek art with a sculpture of an old fisherman, known as Seneque dying, crafted in marble and alabaster. The intricate details and lifelike expression on the face of the statue evoke a sense of melancholy and contemplation. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this piece was once part of Cardinal Scipion Borghese's collection before being acquired by Napoleon I for the Louvre in 1807. Believed to be a representation of Seneque, Nero's preceptor who was forced to commit suicide, this sculpture is a poignant reminder of the fragility and impermanence of life. The basin in violet breche that houses the statue adds another layer of depth to this work of art, enhancing its visual impact with a blood-red surface. Restored and placed with care, this masterpiece stands as a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of ancient sculptors from Hellenistic Greece. As you gaze upon this image captured by Kim Young Tae, you can't help but feel drawn into the emotional narrative depicted in stone. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in death, beauty can be found in art that transcends time and culture.
