EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Ludovisi Ares, a magnificent marble statue of Mars, which is a copy of an original Hellenistic artwork. Restored by the renowned Gianlorenzo Bernini in 1622, this masterpiece hails from Rome's Campus Martius and stands proudly against a black background. The Temple of Neptune can be seen in the backdrop, adding to the historical significance of this image. Intriguingly, adjacent to Ludovisi Ares is another striking statue - that of Thetis, mother of Achilles. Dating back to Roman civilization in the 2nd century BC, these two sculptures together create an awe-inspiring scene. The vertical composition allows for a full-length view and highlights every intricate detail carved into the marble. As we observe Ludovisi Ares sitting contemplatively next to Thetis' majestic figure, we are transported back in time to ancient Rome. Both male and female likenesses are expertly represented through these statues; Mars appears shirtless and barefoot while Thetis exudes grace and power. This studio shot captures their essence perfectly without any distracting elements or people present. With its rich history and artistic brilliance, this print serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries past. It offers viewers an opportunity for reflection on our collective cultural heritage while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship behind these timeless works of art.
