EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragmentary head of a kore, an ancient Greek statue representing a young woman. The artwork is crafted in the Archaic style and was discovered during excavations at the Parthenon, now housed in the prestigious Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece. The photograph itself was taken between 1920-1930 and beautifully captures the intricate details of this ancient masterpiece. The kore's headdress, which could be civilian, military or religious in nature, adds an element of mystery to her identity. Her fashion and clothing reflect the artistic trends prevalent during the VI century BC. One cannot help but admire her elaborate hairdo and hairstyle that were meticulously carved by skilled hands centuries ago. Her eyes are delicately sculpted with great precision, capturing a sense of life within her stone form. As we gaze upon this fragmented head, we are reminded of its connection to Greek mythology and their rich cultural heritage. This piece represents not only female beauty but also serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship that flourished during ancient times. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured every nuance of this sculpture through his lens, allowing us to appreciate its timeless elegance today. This photograph transports us back in time to an era when art played a significant role in shaping society. With its focus on various parts of the body such as lips and mouth along with its portrayal of nudity and human form, this image highlights both Greco-Roman influences on Greek art as well as elements unique to Ancient Civilization. In conclusion, Alinari Fratelli's photograph immortalizes this remarkable fragmentary head from antiquity while simultaneously inviting viewers into an exploration of history through artistry.
