EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Venus callipyge, also known as Aphrodite Callipygos. This Roman sculpture is a remarkable reproduction of an ancient Greek original from the 2nd century BC, standing at an impressive height of 152 cm. Currently housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy, this masterpiece is a testament to both Greek and Roman artistry. The sculpture depicts Venus/Aphrodite with her back turned towards us, revealing her flawlessly sculpted body. The intricate carving captures every detail of her graceful form, emphasizing the timeless allure that has made her an enduring symbol of love and beauty. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to ancient times when mythology and art intertwined seamlessly. The delicate features on Venus' face exude serenity and elegance while evoking a sense of divine power that she possessed as a mythological character. This photograph by Luisa Ricciarini invites us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this piece but also its historical significance. It serves as a window into antiquity, allowing us to marvel at the skillful craftsmanship that has preserved such treasures for generations to come. Intriguingly capturing both vulnerability and strength through nudity, this image reminds us why classical sculptures continue to captivate audiences worldwide – their ability to transcend time and connect us with our shared human experience.
