EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of an Old Shepherd" in all its glory. Crafted from Pentelic marble, this Greco-Roman masterpiece is a Roman copy inspired by an original Alexandrian creation. Located at the Musei Capitolini in Rome, Italy, it stands as a testament to ancient artistry and craftsmanship. The statue depicts an elderly shepherd, his weathered face reflecting years of wisdom and experience. Dressed in traditional attire reminiscent of ancient Greece, he exudes a sense of timeless elegance. With sheep gathered around him, he embodies the pastoral beauty and tranquility associated with shepherding. The scene captured here evokes biblical imagery such as the adoration of the shepherds or even the nativity itself. It transports us back to a distant era when these humble figures played significant roles in religious narratives. Every intricate detail on this sculpture speaks volumes about its historical significance and cultural context. From the carefully sculpted clothing to the flock of sheep surrounding him, every element adds depth and meaning to this work of art. As we gaze upon this photograph by Frank Buffetrille, we are reminded not only of our shared European heritage but also how art has always been intertwined with human history. This image serves as a window into both ancient Greece's rich artistic legacy and Italy's enduring influence on Western civilization.
