EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Statue of Roman god Pan and the shepherd Daphnis" transports us back to ancient Rome. Created in 1779 by Giovanni Battista Cannetti, this print showcases a statue that depicts the mythical figures of Pan and Daphnis. The sculpture, originally from the Farnese collection and now housed in the National Museum at Naples, has been identified as various mythological pairs throughout history. The image beautifully captures the essence of love, desire, and adoration between these two characters. Pan, with his panpipe flute in hand, represents music and wild nature while Daphnis symbolizes youthfulness and innocence. Their nudity adds an element of vulnerability to their connection. The engraving also hints at themes of homosexuality through its portrayal of brotherly love or even a deeper romantic bond between these mythological beings. It is a testament to how diverse expressions of love have existed throughout history. As we gaze upon this artwork from the 18th century, we are reminded of the rich mythology that shaped ancient Rome's culture. The presence of several animals surrounding Pan further emphasizes his connection with wildlife creatures. Overall, this print invites us into a world where gods mingle with mortals—a world filled with beauty, passion, and spirituality.
