EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Goose child" a replica of an Hellenistic original attributed to Boethos from the 3rd century BC. The sculpture, made of marble, stands tall at a height of 92 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In this mesmerizing piece of classical sculpture, we witness a scene that evokes both curiosity and unease. A young boy playfully interacts with a goose, seemingly engaged in innocent fun. However, upon closer inspection, one cannot ignore the underlying theme of cruelty depicted here. The image captures a moment frozen in time - the boy's hands wrapped around the neck of the goose as if strangling it. This juxtaposition between childhood innocence and acts of harm creates an intriguing tension within the artwork. "The Goose child" serves as a reminder that even within beauty lies complexity. It prompts us to question our own understanding of human nature and our relationship with animals. Is this portrayal meant to highlight mankind's inherent capacity for cruelty or does it symbolize something deeper? As we contemplate this thought-provoking photograph print by Bridgeman Images, let us delve into its layers of meaning while appreciating its artistic excellence.
