EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing bas relief depicting the mythical encounter between Bacchus-Dionysius and Ikarios, found in Capri and now housed at the renowned National Archaeological Museum in Naples. The low relief, dating back to the Hellenistic period of Greek art (IV-II sec. a. C), showcases the exquisite craftsmanship that characterized ancient civilization. The image transports us to an era where divine beings mingled with mortals, as Bacchus-Dionysius himself visits Ikarios. The scene unfolds on a beautifully carved table, adorned with elements and furnishings typical of civic spaces during that time. In this domestic setting, we see a bed and other architectural structures surrounding the central figures. Ikarios is depicted as a nude male figure, his body exquisitely sculpted by skilled hands. He stands before Bacchus-Dionysius, who appears regal yet approachable in his divine form. This portrayal highlights both their humanity and divinity simultaneously. Fashioned with intricate detail are various objects scattered throughout the composition - vases symbolizing Greco-Roman culture alongside footwear accessories showcasing fashion trends of that era. Brogi's expert photography allows us to appreciate every nuance of this remarkable artwork while emphasizing its historical significance within Greek art history. The photograph was taken sometime between 1879-1910 ca. , capturing not just an artistic masterpiece but also preserving it for generations to come. Alinari's dedication to capturing such cultural treasures ensures that even those unable to visit Naples can experience these wonders firsthand through their lens. Let this evocative image transport you back in time to witness the meeting of gods and men amidst Greece's ancient civilization
