EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the statue depicting Hermes carrying the infant Dionysus, housed in the Museum of Olympia, Greece. The Roman copy after Praxiteles showcases an exquisite example of classical Greek art, transporting us back to ancient civilization. The image evokes a sense of awe as we witness this powerful portrayal of Hermes cradling the young Dionysus in his arms. It is a game between gods, an allegory that represents an abstract concept and symbolizes their emotional bond. This sculpture delves into the depths of human psychology, exploring themes such as male nudity and the human body's significance. As our eyes focus on their faces and various parts of their bodies, we are reminded of divinity intertwined with mythology. The artwork also reflects upon social status within society and politics during that era. Through this photograph taken around 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, we are transported to Greece's rich cultural heritage. It allows us to contemplate not only the physical aspects but also delve into deeper concepts expressed through individual physiological and psychological aspects. The Greco-Roman influence is evident here as Dionysus (Bacchus) represents wine-making while Hermes (Mercury) embodies communication and travel. This brotherly connection portrayed in classical Greek art exemplifies both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured this timeless masterpiece from different angles, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details even more profoundly. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari without any commercial intentions or affiliations mentioned here, it serves as a reminder that art can transcend time itself - connecting us with our past while inspiring future generations for years to come.
