EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from the 2nd century, depicting the enigmatic figure of Dionysus. Known for his dual personality and association with wine and revelry, Dionysus is brought to life in this ancient Roman artwork. The herm, or statue with a head and torso atop a pillar-like base, reveals the intricate details of this mythological deity. With a flowing beard and cascading hair, Dionysus exudes both youthfulness and wisdom. His face captures two distinct expressions, symbolizing his complex nature as the god of both ecstasy and madness. As we gaze upon this artifact from antiquity, we are transported back to ancient Rome. The worn-down features hint at its age but only add to its allure as an antique work of art. The craftsmanship is evident in every curve and contour of the sculpture's face. Dionysus was revered by many as a divine being - an eternal father figure who inspired devotion among his followers. This sculpture serves as a testament to his enduring presence in mythology and religion throughout history. Through Stefano Baldini's lens, we are granted an intimate view into this piece housed within the Museo Nazionale Romano in Rome, Italy. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, art continues to captivate our imagination while preserving stories from our past.
