EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Farnese Bull" sculpture, housed in the National Museum of Naples, Italy. Created around 1909 by an unknown artist, this copy of a Hellenistic masterpiece tells the tragic mythological tale of Dirce, the first wife of King Lykos of Thebes. In the image, we see Dirce tied to a wild bull by Amphion and Zethus, her stepsons seeking revenge for their mother's mistreatment. The photograph is presented on a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood. It was captured by The Rose Stereograph Company from Melbourne, Sydney, Wellington & London during that era. With its vintage charm and historic significance, this image transports us back to early 20th century Europe. Against a striking black background, the marble statue stands as a symbol of power and punishment. The sculpted figures are frozen in action - Dirce reaching out with her raised arm while Amphion gestures towards her with determination. As we delve into Greek mythology through this remarkable artwork preserved at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples, we can appreciate both its artistic beauty and cultural significance. This print serves as a window into history and invites us to explore ancient tales brought to life through artistry and craftsmanship.
