EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of Apollo Citaredo" a remarkable work of art preserved in the Chiaramonti Museum of the Vatican Museums, located within the magnificent Vatican City. The statue itself dates back to ancient times, specifically between the 1st century BC and 4th century AD. Apollo, known as a divine figure in Greek mythology, is depicted here with his iconic musical instrument - the cithare. This instrument holds great significance as it symbolizes both music and documentation. The male figure stands tall and proud, completely nude, showcasing not only his godly physique but also emphasizing human anatomy's beauty. The artist skillfully incorporates various elements into this masterpiece. A striking vegetal composition surrounds Apollo, adding an element of nature to this divine representation. The intricate details on each leaf and branch demonstrate Roman artistry at its finest. This photograph was captured sometime around 1920-1930 by Anderson from Alinari. It perfectly captures every nuance of this awe-inspiring artwork while preserving its historical essence for generations to come. As we admire this image today, we are transported back in time to ancient Europe when Greco-Roman civilization flourished. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how art has transcended time to inspire us even centuries later. Let us marvel at this extraordinary piece that encapsulates both artistic brilliance and mythological symbolism – a testament to human creativity throughout history.
