EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of the iconic statue of Hermes Kriophoros, depicting the Greek god with a ram gracefully perched upon his shoulders. Crafted in marble during the 1st century BC by Roman artisans, this piece is an exquisite copy of the original work by Kalamis, a renowned sculptor from ancient Greece. The image captures the essence of classical beauty and mythology as it transports us back to antiquity. The young boy depicted here embodies both innocence and strength as he carries the weight of the majestic ram. Hermes, known as the messenger of gods in Greek mythology, is often associated with fertility and animal husbandry, making this portrayal particularly significant. Despite being a fragmentary representation due to its broken state, this artwork still emanates timeless elegance and artistic mastery. The intricate details carved into every crevice speak volumes about the skill and craftsmanship employed by its creators. Displayed at Museo Barracco in Rome, Italy, this mesmerizing sculpture serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient civilizations and their mythological narratives. It reminds us that even fragments can hold immense power when they are imbued with history and cultural significance. Through Stefano Baldini's expert photography skills combined with Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art treasures like these for future generations to appreciate, we are granted access to an extraordinary glimpse into humanity's artistic heritage.
