EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a life-size figure of Rhodopis on a plinth, created by the talented artist Charles Francis Fuller in 1862. The figure stands at an impressive 57x164x63.5 cm and is beautifully crafted out of marble. Rhodopis, a mythological courtesan from ancient Greece, is depicted in a reclining position, peacefully asleep. Her delicate feet are adorned with elegant shoes while an eagle perches nearby, symbolizing her connection to mythology. The neoclassical sculpture exudes grace and beauty as it captures the essence of this legendary woman. The attention to detail is remarkable, evident in every curve and contour of the figure's form. Signed and dated by C. F. Fuller himself, this artwork holds historical significance as it represents his artistic prowess during the mid-19th century. Resting on a mottled pink marble-veneered plinth adds another layer of sophistication to this already exquisite piece. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the serenity that resonates from Rhodopis' slumber; her vulnerability juxtaposed against her timeless allure creates an intriguing visual narrative. Displayed within a private collection today, this image allows us to appreciate not only Fuller's craftsmanship but also the enduring power of classical mythology within art history.
