EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent sculpture known as "The Chimera of Arezzo" dating back to around 400 BC. Created by the Etruscan civilization, this bronze masterpiece is currently housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Florence, Italy. The Chimera was discovered in Arezzo during the 16th century and later claimed by Cosimo I. This mythical creature from Greek mythology features a serpent-tailed lion with a goat's head rising from its spine. According to legend, it met its demise at the hands of the hero Bellerophon. Restored in the 18th century, this statue exudes an aura of ferocity and mystique. The combination of different animal elements creates a fearsome hybrid that captivates viewers even today. The intricate details on each individual part - from the serpentine tail to the powerful lion body and goat's head - showcase exceptional craftsmanship. In this photograph captured by Nicolo Orsi Battaglini, every aspect of this mythological creature comes alive. Its snakelike form intertwines with its majestic presence, while its piercing eyes seem to hold ancient secrets within them. "The Chimera of Arezzo" stands as a testament to both human creativity and our fascination with mythical creatures throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable sculpture through Battaglini's lens, we are transported into an enchanting world where imagination meets reality.
