EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning replica of the renowned sculpture, "Copy of the Hermes by Praxiteles" housed in the esteemed National Museum of Athens, Greece. The photograph, taken around 1920-30, beautifully captures the essence and grandeur of this Hellenistic masterpiece. The statue itself is an exquisite representation of a male figure, standing tall and proud in all its naked glory. Every intricate detail has been meticulously carved to perfection – from the flowing locks of hair cascading down his divine face to every sinewy muscle that adorns his powerful physique. This artwork truly exemplifies the mastery and skill possessed by ancient Greek artists. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to an era when gods and goddesses were revered as living beings. The Hermes depicted here embodies both human beauty and divine grace – a testament to Greek mythology's rich tapestry. Notably, draped over one arm is a delicate piece of fabric known as drapery - adding an element of softness amidst all its masculine strength. It serves as a reminder that even gods can be vulnerable and gentle at times. This photograph not only celebrates Greek art but also pays homage to Europe's ancient civilization. It stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with Greco-Roman culture throughout history. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this image for us to appreciate today – allowing us to marvel at the genius behind Praxiteles' original creation while highlighting its significance within our collective artistic heritage.
