EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Apollo sculpture of the Kassel Apollo type, dating back to the 2nd century AD. Originally created in the 4th century BC, this Roman masterpiece is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The image captures every intricate detail of this mythological figure, depicting Apollo with his distinct hairstyle and an ear of wheat symbolizing abundance and fertility. Apollo, known as a god in ancient Greek mythology, stands tall and proud in all his divine glory. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece and Rome. Its nudity reflects both pagan beliefs and artistic conventions prevalent during that era. The photograph not only highlights the beauty of this antique sculpture but also emphasizes its historical significance. It transports viewers back to a time when polytheism was widely practiced and gods were revered as heavenly fathers or eternal beings. Frank Buffetrille's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind this sculpture but also its symbolic meaning within ancient religious contexts. Through this image, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and continue to inspire awe centuries later.
