EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing piece of Roman art, now housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. The image showcases a delicate putto, or cherub-like figure, holding an oil lamp and standing beside a small column topped by a head. Dating back to the 5th century BC, this artwork provides us with a glimpse into the ancient civilization of Europe. The putto's gesture and instrument offer clues about its intended communication. With one hand raised as if in conversation and the other firmly grasping the oil lamp, it seems to symbolize enlightenment or illumination. This find is truly remarkable for archaeologists who tirelessly uncover remnants of our past. Not only does this photograph allow us to appreciate the artistic beauty of this sculpture, but it also offers insights into fashion and hairstyles during that era. The putto's hairdo reflects intricate styling techniques prevalent at that time. Furthermore, we cannot overlook the nudity portrayed here—a common characteristic in ancient Roman art—depicting both innocence and vulnerability through the childlike form of the putto. Alinari has masterfully captured every detail with precision and clarity in this photograph from 1920-1930 AD. It serves as a testament to their expertise in documenting historical artifacts while preserving their essence for future generations. As we admire this exquisite piece from Pompeii through Alinari's lens, we are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand how art played an integral role in shaping ancient civilizations like Rome.
