EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Plate LXXI (71): Narcissus" takes us back to the ancient world of Greece and Rome. The image is a reproduction from the renowned "Museum Florentinum" a collection of statues depicting illustrious men and gods, published in 1734. The photograph showcases an exquisite sculpture of Narcissus, a figure deeply rooted in Greek mythology. With its intricate details captured through engraving and etching techniques, the artwork emanates a sense of timeless beauty. Narcissus stands proudly in his nakedness, symbolizing self-reflection and vanity. His chiseled physique is rendered with remarkable precision by the skilled hands of Domenico Campiglia, an Italian artist from the eighteenth century. Carlo Gregori's masterful photography brings this stunning piece to life once again. Through careful lighting and composition choices, he highlights every contour and curve, emphasizing both the physicality and emotional depth portrayed by Campiglia's sculpture. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are transported to another era - one where art was revered as a medium for storytelling and introspection. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with classical antiquity while reminding us that true beauty lies not only in outward appearance but also within ourselves.
