EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned sculpture known as the "Dying Gaul" a Roman copy of the original Greek masterpiece. Crafted from marble, this artwork is housed in the Pinacoteca Capitolina within Palazzo Conservatori in Rome, Italy. The sculpture was discovered amidst the enchanting gardens of Sallust. Originally created as a Hellenistic bronze statue by Attalos I to commemorate his victory over the Gauls in 239 BC, this magnificent piece was later renamed as the "Dying Gladiator". However, its true identity lies in depicting a fallen warrior trumpeter from ancient Gaul. The photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this wounded male figure. With mortal wounds evident on his body and an expression of agony etched upon his face, it serves as a poignant reminder of both human vulnerability and strength. The nudity portrayed here is not meant for mere titillation but rather symbolizes raw honesty and vulnerability. It invites us to contemplate themes such as injury, medicine, and overall health. Max Koepke's expert lens brings out every nuance of this Pergamene-style masterpiece while ensuring that its timeless beauty remains accessible to all who appreciate fine art. This particular print is part of Max Koepke's collection and falls under public domain copyright laws; therefore it can be enjoyed freely without any commercial use implications.
