EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of a statue known as the "Fragment of statue of Hermes Kriophoros with a ram on his shoulders". Crafted from marble by Roman artisans in the 1st century BC, this piece can be found at the Museo Barracco in Rome, Italy. The sculpture is actually a Late Roman copy from the 1st century BCE, inspired by the original work of Kalamis, an ancient Greek sculptor from the 5th century BCE. It was discovered near Rome and has since become a remarkable testament to classical artistry. In this image, we see Hermes depicted as he carries a ram on his shoulders. The young boy's strength and grace are evident as he effortlessly supports the weight of the farm animal. This portrayal highlights both Hermes' role as messenger of gods and protector of flocks. The broken state of this sculpture adds an intriguing element to its allure, emphasizing its historical significance and providing us with glimpses into ancient mythological narratives. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured by Stefano Baldini's lens, we are transported back to antiquity—where myths intertwine with reality and where sculptures like these were revered for their beauty and storytelling prowess. This print serves not only as a visual delight but also as a reminder that even fragments have stories worth telling—a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and our desire to preserve ancient treasures for generations to come.
