EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Sleeping Hermaphrodite" a copy of an original sculpture from the 2nd century BC. The addition of a mattress by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century adds a unique touch to this marble masterpiece. Measuring at a length of 148 cm, it currently resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The image captures the reclining figure of the hermaphrodite, who is depicted as both male and female. This portrayal reflects their androgynous nature, symbolizing duality and unity within one body. The artist skillfully brings out these contrasting elements through intricate details carved into the marble block. With its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship, this artwork represents Italian artistry at its finest. It serves as a testament to Italy's rich artistic heritage that has influenced European culture for centuries. The photograph also highlights the importance of furniture in enhancing our understanding and appreciation of sculptures like this one. The carefully crafted mattress provides not only physical support but also adds depth to the overall composition. As we gaze upon this stunning piece, we are transported back to ancient Rome, where Roman civilization flourished during antiquity. The sculpture invites us to contemplate themes such as sleep, restfulness, and vulnerability while celebrating human form in all its natural beauty. Through Peter Willi's lens, we can truly appreciate the timeless allure of classical art captured within this remarkable photograph print.
