EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Head of Doryphoros, a remarkable Roman work from the early 1st century. Derived from the Greek original sculpted by Polykleitos in the 440s BC, this head represents an athlete carrying a spear on his shoulder. Polykleitos ingeniously designed this masterpiece to exemplify the ideal proportions of the human body as depicted in sculpture. Currently housed in The Hermitage collection in St Petersburg, Russia, this artwork is a testament to both ancient Greek and Roman artistry. The intricate details carved into basalt reveal the skill and precision employed by its creator. This piece not only serves as a visual representation of beauty but also carries with it elements of mythology and history. The striking coloration and texture captured in this photograph bring out every nuance of expression on the face of this male figure. It transports us back to ancient times when such sculptures adorned public spaces or private collections, serving as symbols of power, strength, and artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded that art has always been an integral part of human civilization – transcending time and geographical boundaries. This particular artifact continues to inspire awe through its sheer craftsmanship and ability to evoke emotions even after centuries have passed since its creation.
