EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring Statue of David hurling the sling, sculpted by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, at the Borghese Gallery in Rome. The image transports us back to a time when Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles reigned supreme in Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. Taken around 1890, this snapshot showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of Bernini's masterpiece created nearly three centuries earlier. The statue depicts David mid-action, his muscular body poised with aggression as he prepares to release his weapon. Through this powerful gesture, we witness not only physical strength but also a profound psychological behavior that reveals human psychology at its core. The story of David is well-known from Greek mythology - a young shepherd who defeated Goliath using nothing more than his wit and skill with a sling. In this artwork, we see an instrument of communication between man and nature; it symbolizes both music (as it resembles a Greek cithare) and warfare (as it functions as a deadly weapon). The male figure stands nude amidst delicate drapery that adds an element of grace to his otherwise intense presence. His focused gaze suggests determination while simultaneously hinting at vulnerability. As we delve into the physiological and psychological aspects portrayed here, we are reminded of biblical tales from the Old Testament intertwined with elements of Renaissance-Baroque artistry. This fusion creates an individual piece that speaks volumes about human nature itself. Brogi Giacomo masterfully captured this moment through photography for Alinari's Stabilimento fotografico. Their expertise allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within Bernini's sculpture - from each sinewy muscle on David's body to the tension in his sling before releasing its projectile. This print serves as both an artistic treasure showcasing European history and culture while inviting viewers to reflect upon universal themes such as courage, triumph over adversity, and humanity's eternal struggle against formidable odds.
