EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture titled "Standing Youth, known as Narcissus" created by Barthelemy Prieur in 1650. The artwork, made from copper and bronze, is housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in the University of Cambridge, UK. The figure depicted in this piece represents an idealized youth with a muscular physique and a head raised high. With its baroque and neoclassical influences evident through its contrapposto stance and classical features, this statue exudes timeless beauty. The rich red-brown patina adds depth to the sculpture's surface while also accentuating its intricate details. Standing on a plinth, the statue emanates strength and grace as it basks in the soft light that illuminates it. "Narcissus" named after the mythological character who fell in love with his own reflection, captures both vulnerability and self-admiration within its sculpted form. This image invites viewers to contemplate themes of introspection and self-obsession prevalent throughout history. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are able to appreciate every nuance of Prieur's masterpiece. It serves as a testament to human creativity and artistic expression that transcends time.
