EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent sculpture of Antinous-Osiris, dating back to 131-138 AD. Crafted from marble by Roman artists in the 2nd century, this masterpiece stands tall at a height of 241 cm and is currently housed in the Vatican Museums and Galleries in Vatican City. Originally discovered at Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli, this sculpture represents Antinous, a young man from Bythinia who was Emperor Hadrian's beloved favorite. The figure is depicted alongside Osiris, the Egyptian god associated with the afterlife and death. This fusion of cultures highlights the influence of ancient Rome on Egyptian mythology. The attention to detail is astounding as every aspect of this artwork has been meticulously carved. From Antinous' classical headdress to his majestic stance on a plinth, every element exudes elegance and grace. The full-length statue captures his youthful beauty while paying homage to both Roman and Egyptian traditions. This print not only immortalizes an exceptional piece of art but also transports us back to ancient times when emperors ruled over vast territories. It serves as a reminder of how art can bridge different cultures and transcend time itself. Photographed by Stefano Baldini for Bridgeman Images, this image invites us to appreciate the rich history embedded within each stroke of chisel on marble.
