EDITORS COMMENTS
The Statue of Minerva sitting restored in Rome is a breathtaking piece of Roman art that embodies the grace and power of the goddess. This sculpture, dating back to the 2nd century AD, is a symbol of protection for Rome and a patron saint for artisans. The combination of red porphyry and golden bronze creates a stunning contrast that highlights the intricate details of Minerva's figure.
Originally part of the Capitoline triad with Jupiter and Juno, Minerva is associated with wisdom, courage, and strategic warfare in Roman mythology. Her resemblance to Athena in Greek mythology adds another layer of complexity to this divine representation.
Acquired by Cardinal Mazarin in 1646 and later purchased by Louis XIV in 1665, this statue has adorned gardens throughout history before finding its place at the Louvre in Paris. The restoration completed by Francuccio Francucci showcases his skillful craftsmanship while preserving the essence of this ancient masterpiece.
As you gaze upon this image captured by Kim Young Tae, you can't help but feel awe-inspired by Minerva's presence. Her seated pose exudes strength and intelligence, making her a timeless symbol of feminine power. This print serves as a reminder of Rome's rich history and artistic legacy that continues to captivate audiences around the world.
