EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic statue Pasquino, proudly standing on its pedestal in the vibrant Piazza di Pasquino in Rome, Italy. Crafted by Antonio Lafreri between 1522 and 1577, this sculpture holds a significant place in history as one of the famous "talking statues" of Rome. As you gaze at this image, you can almost feel the rich communication that emanates from Pasquino's weathered stone form. The surrounding walls are plastered with paper inscriptions and notes, showcasing a tradition that dates back centuries. These writings serve as an outlet for citizens to express their opinions and criticisms towards various aspects of society. Legend has it that Pasquino earned his nickname from Menelaus, a Greek tailor who lived nearby during the early 16th century. Being a papal purveyor himself, Menelaus witnessed firsthand the policies he disagreed with and pasted his grievances onto these very walls. Even after his time, jeers and witty remarks continued to be posted here. The photograph also offers a glimpse into Palazzo Braschi behind Pasquino – an architectural gem that adds to the historical charm of this scene. Together with its surroundings steeped in history and culture, this image serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and become intertwined with social discourse. Quint Lox skillfully captured both the grandeur of Pasquino's stature and the energy pulsating through Piazza di Pasquino in this remarkable
