EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the profile view of the magnificent statue of Silenus, housed in the National Museum of Rome at the Baths of Diocletian. The statue stands as a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of ancient Rome. Dating back to the Imperial Period, specifically between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD, this Roman artwork showcases exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Silenus, a minor divinity from Greek mythology, is depicted here in all his glory. His muscular physique is on full display as he stands confidently with an animal skin draped over his shoulder. The composition beautifully highlights Silenus' hairdo and hairstyle, showcasing intricate curls that were characteristic of fashion during that time period. The artist has skillfully captured every nuance - from each strand cascading down his head to his expressive facial features. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported back in time to witness not only a remarkable sculpture but also gain insight into ancient civilization. It serves as a reminder of Europe's Greco-Roman heritage and its enduring influence on art throughout history. Photographed around 1890 by Anderson for Alinari, this print allows us to appreciate both the original artwork's grandeur and Anderson's talent for capturing its essence through photography. As we gaze upon this profile view of Silenus, we cannot help but marvel at how it encapsulates beauty, strength, mythological lore, and historical significance within one frame.
