EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print takes us back to the 19th century, where ancient Greek and Roman mythology intertwine with American artistry. The photograph, titled "Aphrodite; Herkales and Venus de Medici; Art Institute, 1893" was captured by Henry Hamilton Bennett as part of his series "Chicago and Vicinity". Displayed at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago, this stereo image showcases two iconic sculptures: Aphrodite (the Greek goddess of love) and Herakles (also known as Hercules in Roman mythology). Standing side by side is another masterpiece, the Venus de Medici. Bennett's expert composition transports viewers to a time when these divine figures were worshipped as gods. The intricate details of each sculpture are beautifully preserved in this albumen silver print. Their graceful forms exude power, elegance, and timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this artwork from over a century ago, we are reminded of the rich heritage that connects ancient civilizations with modern society. This photograph serves as a testament to America's appreciation for classical art while also highlighting its own artistic contributions. The Art Institute of Chicago proudly exhibits this remarkable piece among its vast collection. It invites visitors to immerse themselves in the world of mythology through religious sculptures like these – reminding us that art has always been an essential bridge between cultures throughout history.
