EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cicada, a magnificent marble statue sculpted by Giovanni Biggi, is proudly displayed at the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome. This exquisite artwork captures the essence of music and communication through its intricate details and allegorical representation. Dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century, this remarkable sculpture stands as a symbol of European artistry from the first and second millenniums A. D. Its creation by Biggi in 1880 showcases his exceptional talent and mastery of sculpting. In this photograph taken around 1920-1930 by Brogi Giacomo from Alinari's Stabilimento Fotografico, we are presented with a stunning portrayal of The Cicada. The statue depicts a female figure adorned with fashionable clothing and an elegant kerchief headdress. She holds an accordion-like instrument, emphasizing her role as a musical performer. The attention to detail is truly awe-inspiring; every part of her body, from her delicate face to her bare feet, has been meticulously crafted. The artist skillfully conveys both beauty and emotion through this portrait-like depiction. As we gaze upon The Cicada, it becomes apparent that it represents more than just an object or sculpture – it embodies abstract concepts such as gesture, symbolism, and expression. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while also reflecting the cultural significance attached to music within European society during that time period. This photograph not only captures the magnificence of The Cicada but also transports us back in time to appreciate the artistic achievements of Giovanni Biggi and his contribution to Europe's rich artistic heritage.
