EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing "Double herm of Epicurus and Metrodorus" sculpture, carved from exquisite marble. Located in the Musei Capitolini in Rome, Italy, this ancient Greek masterpiece is a testament to the enduring legacy of these renowned philosophers. Dating back to 275-250 BC, this double herm captures the profiles of Epicurus and Metrodorus with remarkable precision. The fine craftsmanship brings their features to life, immortalizing their intellectual prowess for generations to come. Epicurus, one of history's most influential thinkers, founded Epicureanism - a school of thought centered around seeking pleasure and tranquility as the ultimate goals in life. His counterpart, Metrodorus, was an esteemed philosopher who shared similar beliefs and contributed significantly to the development of Epicurean philosophy. In this portrait-like sculpture, both men are depicted with stoic expressions that reflect their wisdom and contemplative nature. The attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour meticulously chiseled into the marble surface. As we gaze upon this profound artwork captured by Stefano Baldini's lens on behalf of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time. This image serves as a powerful reminder of how art can transcend centuries while preserving humanity's intellectual heritage.
