EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture "Atys-Amorino" created by the renowned artist Donatello in around 1430. Crafted from bronze and standing at a modest height of 10 cm, this masterpiece can be found in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Italy. The sculpture depicts a young boy, known as Atys or Amorino, adorned with various symbolic elements. His body is wrapped with a belt and chaps while his feet are clad in winged sandals. Intriguingly, he holds a snake delicately in one hand, symbolizing both danger and wisdom. Amidst his innocent appearance lies Cupid's essence - the Roman god of love - represented through his cherubic features and playful expression. The presence of snakes further alludes to ancient mythology where they were associated with rebirth and transformation. Donatello's attention to detail is evident through the intricate drapery that clothes Atys-Amorino's form. The folds of fabric cascade gracefully over his body, adding depth and realism to this small-scale artwork. Capturing this remarkable piece is photographer Raffaello Bencini who skillfully highlights every nuance and texture within the sculpture. Through Bencini's lens, viewers can appreciate not only Donatello's technical mastery but also experience the enchanting allure emanating from this timeless work of art.
