EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing head detail of the renowned sculpture "David about to release his sling" sculpted by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Preserved in the Borghese Gallery, Rome, this masterpiece showcases the brilliance of both Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Dating back to around 1623, this artwork beautifully portrays David's intense gesture as he prepares to release his sling. The photograph itself was taken approximately in 1890, offering us a glimpse into the past while still allowing us to appreciate its timeless beauty. The artist behind this remarkable sculpture is none other than Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680), who skillfully conveys not only David's physical prowess but also delves into deeper themes such as communication, aggressiveness, and psychological behavior. Through intricate details like facial expressions and body language, Bernini explores human psychology and tells the story of David with great finesse. In addition to David himself, various elements enrich this composition. A Greek cithare instrument or document can be seen nearby, symbolizing music's significance in ancient times. The male figure depicted here stands nude yet draped with delicate fabric that adds an ethereal touch. Of course, one cannot overlook the prominent object at hand – the sling catapult – which plays a pivotal role in David's triumph over Goliath according to biblical Old Testament accounts. This fusion of historical narratives with artistic mastery exemplifies both Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods prevalent during Europe's first and second millenniums. Anderson from Alinari has expertly captured every nuance of this extraordinary artwork through photography. With each glance at this photo print, we are transported back in time while simultaneously appreciating its enduring relevance today.
