EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Herma of Athena" a marble sculpture that once belonged to the renowned Farnese Collection and now finds its home at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. The photograph, taken between 1879-1910, beautifully captures this ancient masterpiece, which dates back to the 2nd century BC. The Herma of Athena is an awe-inspiring representation of Roman art and European ancient civilization. This bust depicts Athena, also known as Minerva in Roman mythology, who was revered as a powerful female divinity associated with wisdom and warfare. Adorned with a military helmet and headdress, she exudes strength and authority. Every intricate detail of this sculpture is brought to life through this remarkable photograph by Brogi from Alinari. From her meticulously styled hairdo to her serene facial expression, every aspect reflects the craftsmanship of Greco-Roman artistry. One cannot help but be captivated by the fusion of divine beauty and human form embodied in this artwork. The Herma's nude body stands tall, symbolizing both gracefulness and power while evoking thoughts of mythical creatures like Medusa.

It serves as a reminder that these masterpieces transcend generations; they continue to inspire us today. Let us cherish such treasures preserved within museums like the National Archaeological Museum in Naples for they offer glimpses into our rich past - reminding us of our shared history and heritage.
