EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Antonio Canova's masterpiece, "Apollo Crowning Himself". The sculpture, crafted from marble in 1781-2, stands at an impressive height of 84.7 cm within the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The artwork draws inspiration from Ovid's Metamorphoses, a tale where Apollo relentlessly pursues the nymph Daphne until she transforms into a laurel tree to escape him. As a result, Apollo vows to forever wear a laurel wreath as a symbol of his undying love for her. Canova skillfully brings this mythological moment to life through his neoclassical style. The sculpture showcases Apollo gracefully placing the laurel wreath upon his own head, embodying both his divine status as the Roman god of music and poetry and his eternal devotion to Daphne. The intricate details and smoothness of the marble highlight Canova's mastery in sculpting human form. This neo-classical piece exudes elegance and poise while capturing Apollo's vulnerability through his nudity. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness this iconic scene from ancient mythology. It serves as a reminder of how art can immortalize legends and evoke emotions that transcend time itself.
