EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Design: Proportions of the Antinous Statue," is an exquisite example of the meticulous anatomical studies prevalent during the Age of Enlightenment in Europe. Created by the skilled hand of A.J. Defehrt, this engraving with etching on cream laid paper is a depiction of the renowned Antinous statue, an ancient Greek work of art discovered in 152 AD near the Tiber River. The Antinous statue, believed to be a representation of the beloved companion of Emperor Hadrian, was a symbol of beauty and grace in ancient Rome. In this print, Defehrt meticulously illustrates the statue's proportions, paying close attention to the intricacies of the figure's anatomy. The frontal view allows for a detailed examination of the statue's facial features, including the delicately sculpted nose, full lips, and expressive eyes. The artist also captures the subtle curves and muscular definition of the body, from the broad shoulders to the slender feet. This anatomical study is a testament to the artistic and intellectual pursuits of the time, reflecting the growing interest in the classical world and the desire to understand the human form. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art, and its intricate details make it a fascinating subject for study and contemplation. The print is reminiscent of the works of other prominent artists and intellectuals of the period, such as Antoine Claude Briasson, David Michel Antoine, and Laurent Durand, who were also known for their anatomical studies and contributions to the field of art and science. This print is a must-have for art enthusiasts, historians, and anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of Europe.
