EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite print of a second-century Roman sculpture known as 'The Hermaphrodite', we are transported to an era of mythological wonder and artistic mastery. The subject, often referred to as Androgyne, is depicted in a state of serene slumber, reclining on a intricately carved marble bed adorned with ornate furniture.
This stunning piece of ancient Roman art hails from the region of Lazio, specifically Rome, where it was once part of an extensive collection. The artist's skillful rendering captures every detail, from the delicate folds in Androgyne's clothing to the subtle curves and contours of their face.
As we gaze upon this enigmatic figure, we are drawn into a world of ancient mythology and symbolism. In Roman culture, hermaphrodites were often seen as embodying both masculine and feminine qualities, making them powerful symbols of duality and balance.
In this print, Androgyne's peaceful slumber seems to convey a sense of harmony with the universe, their body language exuding a quiet confidence. The surrounding furniture adds an air of opulence and refinement, underscoring the cultural significance of this artwork in ancient Rome.
This image invites us on a journey through time and space, offering insights into the artistic sensibilities and mythological beliefs of a bygone era.
