EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Antinous, a Bithynian-Greek youth who held a significant place in ancient Roman history. Beloved by the powerful Roman emperor Hadrian, Antinous was not only his lover but also his trusted companion. Tragically, Antinous met an untimely demise at a young age, prompting Hadrian to immortalize him as a deity. The artist behind this 19th-century rendition remains unidentified, yet their skillful portrayal captures the essence of Antinous' beauty and allure. The image transports us back to ancient Rome, allowing us to delve into its rich historical tapestry. Antinoos' story is one that intertwines love and power within the corridors of imperial Rome. His deification by Hadrian speaks volumes about their profound connection and sheds light on the complexities of relationships during that era. Preserved within this archival illustration lies a glimpse into an era long gone but forever etched in our collective memory. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and bring forth stories from antiquity. Ken Welsh's masterful reproduction ensures that this piece retains its historical significance while offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate its artistic merit. Whether you are drawn to ancient history or simply captivated by timeless beauty, this print invites you on a journey through time – where myth meets reality in the form of Antinous, lover and deity.
