EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate engraving by Tommaso Piroli, titled "Apollo with Cithara and Plectrum," is an enchanting depiction of the ancient Greek god of music, poetry, art, archery, and prophecy. The statue of Apollo, rendered in rich copper tones, is shown in a contemplative pose, adorned with a radiant halo that signifies his divine status. In his hands, he holds the cithara, an ancient stringed instrument similar to a lyre, which he plucks with a plectrum, or pick. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the delicate folds of Apollo's robe, the delicate strings of the cithara, and the intricate design of the plectrum. The god is also adorned with a wreath, a symbol of victory and honor, further emphasizing his divine nature. This engraving is taken from Tommaso Piroli's "Antiquities of Herculaneum," published in Rome in 1789. The work is a testament to the enduring beauty and artistic mastery of the classical world, and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and timeless subject matter. The image is reminiscent of the frescoes and paintings found in ancient sites such as Pompeii, and offers a glimpse into the mythology and artistic traditions of ancient Greece.
