EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic sculpture of "Roma: Lacoonte" in the Vatican. The image, taken by German photographer Kurt Hielscher (1881-1948), showcases his artistic talent and attention to detail. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for the book "Die Ewige Stadt Erinnerungen An Rom" in 1925. The sculpture itself depicts the famous mythological scene of Laocoon, a Trojan priest, and his two sons being attacked by sea serpents. It is considered one of the most important ancient sculptures ever discovered and has been admired for its dramatic composition and emotional intensity. In this vintage photograph, Hielscher beautifully captures the intricate details of the sculpture's forms and textures. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its overall visual impact. As we gaze upon this artwork through Hielscher's lens, we are transported back in time to ancient Rome. This photo serves as a reminder of Italy's rich history, with Rome being hailed as both a holy city and an eternal symbol of Italian culture. Bridgeman Images presents this stunning print from their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate not only Hielscher's photographic skills but also the timeless beauty captured within this historical masterpiece.
