EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent bronze statuette for a fountain, depicting a young man fishing. The statuette is housed at the prestigious National Archaeological Museum in Naples, Italy. The craftsmanship of this Roman artwork is truly remarkable, dating back to the 2nd century BC or 1st century AD. It perfectly captures the essence of ancient civilization and offers us a glimpse into Europe's rich history. Intriguing details can be observed in this photograph: the headdress worn by the young man signifies his civilian or military background, while also hinting at possible religious significance. His fashionable attire reflects the clothing style prevalent during that era. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the fishing pole held by our protagonist. This instrument symbolizes not only his leisurely activity but also represents an important aspect of daily life in ancient times - fishing as a means of sustenance. A closer look reveals additional objects surrounding him - a portrait-like representation showcasing his masculine features and an intricately designed purse or bag placed nearby. These elements provide further insight into Roman culture and their appreciation for artistry and personal belongings. Captured by Brogi from Alinari, this photograph beautifully preserves every intricate detail of this extraordinary bronze statuette. Its historical significance combined with its artistic brilliance makes it an invaluable piece within the collection at Naples' National Archaeological Museum.
