EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble sculpture of a young athlete, known as Narkissos, dating back to the 2nd century AD. Created by a Roman artist after the renowned Greek sculptor Polyclete from 420-400 BC, this masterpiece can be found in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The sculpture depicts a masculine and youthful figure, representing strength and athleticism. The attention to detail is remarkable; every muscle and sinew is meticulously carved into the smooth marble surface. The athlete stands confidently, exuding grace and poise. Narkissos's nudity adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the artwork. It symbolizes purity and emphasizes his dedication to physical excellence. This semi-nude portrayal highlights not only his physical prowess but also his inner strength and determination. As we gaze upon this ancient relic, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty of Roman artistry at its finest. It serves as a testament to their appreciation for sportsmanship and celebrates human achievement through athletic endeavors. Frank Buffetrille's skillful photography captures every intricate detail of this magnificent sculpture with precision. Through his lens, he immortalizes this timeless work of art for us all to admire for generations to come.
