EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of five marble statues known as The Muses Melpomene, Clio, Erapo, Calliope, and Polinnia. Preserved in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum of Naples, these exquisite works of art are a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient civilization. Dating back to the 2nd century BC, these Roman statues depict minor divinities known as muses who were believed to inspire creativity and artistic expression. Each muse is adorned with intricate costumes that reflect the fashion and clothing styles of their time. Their elaborate hairdos are meticulously crafted, adding an air of elegance to their divine presence. In this image, one can observe various objects associated with music scattered around the muses. A lyre instrument lies gracefully beside them, symbolizing their connection to musical inspiration. Additionally, masks and wreaths adorn their surroundings further emphasizing their role in mythology. The photographer Brogi skillfully captures every detail of these masterpieces through his lens. The monochromatic tones add a sense of timelessness while highlighting the delicate features carved into each statue's marble surface. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Alinari dating between 1879-1910, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the magnificence of Greco-Roman artistry. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation; great works like these continue to captivate audiences worldwide with their enduring beauty and significance within our shared human history.
