EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful sculpture known as the "Dying Gaul" a copy of a Greek original created by Epigonos around 230-220 BC. Captured from its back view, this marble masterpiece resides in the Pinacoteca Capitolina within Palazzo Conservatori in Rome, Italy. Originally crafted in bronze, this artwork was dedicated to Pergamon by Attalos I to commemorate their triumphant victory against the Gauls. Discovered within the enchanting garden of Sallust, it stands as a testament to both artistic prowess and historical significance. The image evokes a sense of vulnerability and agony as we witness the mortal wound inflicted upon this Hellenistic warrior. His muscular form is laid bare before us, emphasizing his pain and injury. The classical aesthetics are juxtaposed with raw human suffering, reminding us of our own mortality. Intriguingly captured by Bridgeman Images through Alinari's lens, this photograph invites contemplation on themes such as medicine, health, and nudity. It serves as a reminder that even mighty warriors can be vulnerable to wounds and require medical attention. As we gaze upon this stunning depiction of ancient artistry merged with human fragility, we are reminded of the enduring power that art holds in capturing profound moments throughout history.
