EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of Antonio Canova's masterpiece, "The Three Graces". Created between 1812 and 1817, this neoclassical sculpture is housed in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The photograph focuses on the back and hand of one of the graceful figures, highlighting their exquisite beauty. Canova's skillful use of marble brings these mythological goddesses to life. The three Graces, also known as the Charites in Greek mythology, represent elegance, charm, and beauty. In this particular detail captured by Ghigo Roli's lens, we witness the delicate sensuality that emanates from their nude forms. The female figure depicted exudes feminine grace and allure. Her back curves gracefully while her hand delicately rests upon it with tenderness. This intimate embrace symbolizes not only physical closeness but also emotional connection. Through his masterful sculpting technique and attention to detail, Canova immortalizes the timeless appeal of female beauty. The smoothness of the marble accentuates every curve and contour with precision. This photograph serves as a testament to Canova's genius as well as Roli's ability to capture its essence through his lens. It invites viewers into a world where artistry merges with mythology and celebrates both divine divinity and human sensuality simultaneously.
