EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent sculpture of Apollo, from Lillebonne. Crafted in gilded bronze by Gallo-Roman artisans during the 2nd century AD, this statue stands tall at an impressive height of 194 cm. Currently housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France, it is hailed as the largest Gaulish representation of a god ever discovered. Apollo's divine presence radiates through his masculine form and striking nudity. The artist masterfully captures every detail, emphasizing his muscular physique and graceful stance. With a serene expression on his face and eyes that seem to gaze into eternity, Apollo exudes an aura of timeless beauty and wisdom. The intricate craftsmanship evident in this piece speaks volumes about the skill and artistry of its creators. The delicate gilding adds a touch of opulence to the already awe-inspiring figure, enhancing its allure even further. As we behold this remarkable work of art captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to an era where gods walked among mortals. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic genius behind this masterpiece but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and our eternal quest for beauty and divinity.
