EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient Roman sculpture of "Pan and Hermaphrodite" believed to have been created in the 1st century AD. Standing at a height of 105 cm, this marble masterpiece is housed in a private collection, making it a rare and treasured find. The artwork explores themes of eroticism, mythology, and desire through its depiction of two figures intertwined in an intense struggle. Pan, the half-human half-goat deity known for his wild nature and love for music, appears locked in a passionate embrace with Hermaphrodite - a mythological being embodying both male and female characteristics. The fragmented state of the sculpture adds to its allure, as it hints at the violent history that may have befallen these mythical beings. The presence of goat skin further emphasizes Pan's hybrid nature while also alluding to his association with fertility rituals. As we delve into this classical mythological narrative, we are reminded of ancient pagan beliefs rooted in polytheism. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich religious traditions that once thrived during those times. Through its portrayal of nudity and semi-nudity, this sculpture challenges societal norms surrounding nakedness while celebrating the beauty and vulnerability inherent in our human form. Overall, this mesmerizing print offers us a glimpse into an ancient world filled with captivating myths and complex deities – inviting us to explore their stories through artistry that has stood the test of time.
