EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Paris leaning on tree stump, back view" takes us back to the 19th century. The image is a part of the collection "Oeuvre de Canova: Recueil de Statues" by Giovanni Tognolli, showcasing the artistic genius of Antonio Canova. In this particular piece, we see Paris, portrayed as a male figure, leaning against a rustic tree stump. The composition focuses on his back view, emphasizing his well-defined body and muscular buttocks. Paris wears an intriguing head dress or headdress that adds an air of mystery to his character. The engraving and etching technique used in this artwork beautifully captures every intricate detail with precision. The contrast between light and shadow enhances the overall aesthetic appeal. Notably, Josephine de Beauharnais, Empress Joséphine herself, served as inspiration for this sculpture. Her connection to Napoleon Bonaparte further adds historical significance to this piece. The inclusion of apples symbolizes fertility and abundance while also referencing the story of Paris awarding Aphrodite with the golden apple in Greek mythology. Displayed in monochrome tones, this photograph exudes timeless elegance and showcases both Italian artistry and French history. It serves as a testament to Canova's mastery in sculpting human forms that evoke emotion and admiration even centuries later.
