EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Calf-Bearer and the Kritios Boy Shortly After Exhumation on the Acropolis; Danseuse du Temple de Bacchus, ca. 1865" takes us back to ancient Greece, immersing us in its rich archaeological heritage. The image showcases two remarkable sculptures that were recently discovered during an excavation on the iconic Acropolis in Athens. In the foreground stands a stunning representation of a calf-bearer, his marble form exuding grace and strength as he carries a young calf upon his shoulders. Beside him, we see another masterpiece known as the Kritios Boy, an exquisite sculpture capturing youthful beauty with astonishing realism. The photograph transports us to this momentous occasion when these extraordinary works of art were unveiled for the world to behold. Their nakedness symbolizes their divine origins, embodying gods and goddesses from Greek mythology such as Athena (Pallas Athene), who was revered in Athens. Through this albumen silver print captured by an unknown photographer around the 19th century, we are granted a glimpse into history's embrace of classical artistry. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has preserved this precious artifact which now serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient civilizations and their enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we cannot help but marvel at how it encapsulates both artistic brilliance and archaeological significance within its frame. It is through such discoveries that we continue to unravel the mysteries of our past
