EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of the "Sarcophagus from Atella, with the myth of the refinding of Achilles at Sciro with the daughters of Licomedes" displayed in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. The photograph, taken between 1879 and 1910, beautifully showcases this remarkable piece of Roman art that dates back to the second century. The sarcophagus depicts a pivotal scene from Greek mythology - Achilles being discovered on Sciro by Licomedes' daughters. In this ancient tale, Achilles disguises himself as a woman to avoid joining the Trojan War. However, his true identity is revealed when he falls in love with one of Licomedes' daughters. The sculpture's craftsmanship is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail, from the delicate folds in their clothing to their expressive faces and muscular bodies, has been meticulously carved into high relief. The artist masterfully captures both male and female figures in various poses and expressions that bring this mythical story to life. As you gaze upon this artwork through Brogi's lens, you can't help but be transported back in time to an era where Greco-Roman culture flourished. It serves as a testament not only to ancient civilization but also highlights how fashion and clothing played a significant role during that period. This print offers us a glimpse into history - an opportunity to appreciate both artistic excellence and storytelling prowess combined within one magnificent sculpture. It reminds us why museums like Naples National Archaeological Museum are invaluable treasures preserving our rich cultural heritage for generations to come.
