EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait head of Antinous wearing the wreath of Dionysus" a remarkable piece from the Roman era. Crafted in marble during the 2nd century, this sculpture was once part of a grand statue housed in Emperor Hadrian's villa at Tivoli. The image captures Antinous, an individual who achieved divine status after his untimely death. Adorned with a wreath symbolizing his association with Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry, Antinous exudes an air of mystique and allure. His perfectly sculpted curls frame his face, enhancing his ethereal beauty. As one gazes upon this portrait head, it is impossible not to be captivated by its sheer elegance and craftsmanship. The attention to detail is astonishing; every curve and contour meticulously carved into the marble surface reflects the skillful handiwork of ancient artisans. Antinous' significance as Emperor Hadrian's favorite cannot be overlooked either. This portrayal immortalizes him as more than just a mere mortal but rather as someone deified by their emperor's affection. Now residing within the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, this artwork continues to enchant viewers with its timeless appeal. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this momentous piece through their lens, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its magnificence for years to come.
