EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the exquisite beauty of a statue depicting the Roman moon goddess Luna. Created in 1779 by Giovanni Battista Cannetti, this print showcases the intricate details of this ancient masterpiece. Luna stands tall, holding a torch that illuminates her surroundings with its ethereal glow. Her billowing chiton adds an air of grace and elegance to her figure, while a crescent moon adorns her hair, symbolizing her connection to the celestial realm. This Roman copy is believed to be inspired by a Greek statue of Selene from the 4th century BC, also known as Diana Lucifera. The artist's skillful hand brings out every delicate feature of Luna's face and form, highlighting both her divine nature and feminine allure. The engraving transports us back in time to ancient Rome, where mythological figures like Luna were revered as heavenly deities. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of mythology and religion that has shaped human history. It serves as a testament to our fascination with celestial bodies and our desire to understand their significance in our lives. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also invites us into a world where gods and goddesses once walked among mortals.
