EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-002278-0000" transports us to the enchanting world of ancient Rome. The image captures a stunning statue of Apollo Lyceus, an exquisite replica from the circle of Praxiteles, housed within the prestigious Capitoline Museum in Rome. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this remarkable artwork showcases Apollo in all his divine glory. Standing proudly without clothes, he exudes a sense of timeless beauty and grace. A mythical griffin stands faithfully by his side, symbolizing strength and power. In Apollo's hands rests a delicate lyre, an instrument synonymous with music and creativity. The photograph itself was taken between 1860 and 1880 by Ludovico Tuminello from Alinari. Through his lens, Tuminello expertly captures every intricate detail of this masterpiece – from the smooth contours of Apollo's muscular physique to the intricate carvings on the lyre. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported into a realm where mythology intertwines with artistry. The combination of Greek and Roman influences is evident in every aspect – from Apollo's Greco-Roman features to the presence of mythological creatures like griffins. This print not only celebrates classical art but also invites us to explore themes such as divinity, literature, and music. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these ancient works continue to inspire awe and fascination among admirers worldwide. Displayed prominently within Rome's Capitoline Museums' Hall of The "Galata Morente" this photograph allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It is truly a testament to human ingenuity throughout time – capturing moments frozen forever in stone for generations yet unborn to admire.
