EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite head detail of Electra, a prominent figure from the sculptural group of Orestes and Electra. Preserved in the esteemed National Museum of Rome, Palazzo Altemps, this artwork is a testament to the rich history and artistic brilliance of ancient Roman civilization. Dating back to the first century AD during the Imperial Period, this remarkable statue embodies both grace and power. Created by the talented artist Menelaos, it captures Electra's beauty with intricate precision. The photograph itself was taken around 1890, allowing us to appreciate this masterpiece even after centuries have passed. The image reveals not only an exceptional portrayal of Electra but also provides insights into various aspects of society during that time. Her elaborate costume and fashion choices reflect her social status as well as her role within her family. As a female character in mythology, she represents divinity intertwined with human emotions. Furthermore, this print offers glimpses into physiological and psychological aspects through subtle details such as laughter or smile on Electra's face. It highlights Greco-Roman influences prevalent in art during that era. As we admire this stunning piece captured by Anderson from Alinari, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen in stone. This artifact serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and their contributions to our collective cultural heritage.
