EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief sculpture from the 1st century BC, known as "The myth of Telephus". Created during the Roman Empire in Naples, Italy, this exquisite piece falls under the category of Neo-Attic art. The intricate carving depicts an iconic moment from Greek mythology featuring Telephus, a mythological character. In this artwork, we witness a stunning portrayal of a woman draped in an elegant gown. Her body is delicately carved with great attention to detail and realism. The artist skillfully captures both the grace and vulnerability of the human form through their masterful craftsmanship. The composition exudes an aura of mystique as it transports us back to ancient times when myths and legends were woven into everyday life. This relief serves as a testament to the enduring power and influence of classical mythology on art throughout history. Luisa Ricciarini's photographic interpretation beautifully captures every nuance and texture present in this extraordinary work. Through her lens, we are able to appreciate not only the artistic prowess behind its creation but also its timeless beauty that continues to captivate viewers today. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with our collective cultural heritage – bridging gaps between different civilizations and allowing us to connect with stories passed down through generations.
