EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Apollo Belvedere, a Roman copy from the 2nd century AD of an ancient Greek original dating back to the 6th century BC. This masterpiece is attributed to the talented sculptor Leochares and is currently housed in the Pio Clementino Museum within Vatican City, also known as Stato della Città del Vaticano. The Apollo Belvedere sculpture stands tall and upright, exuding timeless beauty and grace. Its flawless craftsmanship captures every intricate detail of this male figure, depicting Apollo - the Greek god of music, poetry, prophecy, and healing. The statue's nudity symbolizes purity and divine perfection. In this photograph by Santiago Ortega, vibrant colors bring out the essence of this remarkable artwork. The play of light accentuates each curve and contour while highlighting its ethereal presence. The significance of this piece lies not only in its artistic value but also in its historical importance as one of Greece's most treasured creations. Despite being a Roman replica created centuries later, it faithfully preserves the spirit and elegance that defined ancient Greek art. As we gaze upon this image captured by Ortega's lens, we are transported to a time long ago when gods walked among mortals. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with classical beauty and our eternal quest for artistic expression.
