Additional Details: This striking image by Robert Mapplethorpe, titled Antinous, reflects the artist’s deep engagement with classical form and idealized beauty. Featuring a statue of Antinous—beloved of the Roman Emperor Hadrian—Mapplethorpe veils the marble figure with drapery, softening its sculptural precision and imbuing it with a sense of humanity and sensuality. The treatment blurs the line between object and subject, stone and skin, capturing the timeless tension between the eternal and the intimate. Originally published in 1994 by teNeues Publishing Company and printed in Germany, the photograph is presented in a white wood frame with a 1-inch front profile and 3/4-inch side profile, mounted behind a 4-inch mat. This elegant presentation enhances the classical elegance of the image, making it a powerful and contemplative work of art for modern interiors.
