EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the Statue of a Sleeping Ariadne, also known as Cleopatra. Created in 1779 by Giovanni Battista Cannetti, this print showcases a Roman Hadrianic copy of a Hellenistic sculpture from the Pergamene school dating back to the 2nd century BC. The image portrays a woman reclining on a couch, adorned with a flowing robe, serpent bracelet, and sandals. Once part of the Belvedere collection but now housed in the Vatican, this ancient statue exudes an air of tranquility and elegance. Cannetti's meticulous copperplate engraving beautifully captures every intricate detail of this mythological figure. The artist's skill brings to life not only the physical attributes but also the essence of Ariadne's slumbering state. With its rich historical context and references to antiquity, this artwork transports viewers back to ancient Rome. It serves as both an homage to classical artistry and an exploration into mythology and paganism. The fine lines and shading used in this engraving evoke a sense of timelessness while highlighting Ariadne's feminine grace. As we gaze upon her peaceful countenance, we are reminded of the power that lies within stillness and rest. This exquisite print is not just an artistic representation; it is also an invitation for contemplation on themes such as beauty, spirituality, and our connection to ancient civilizations.
