Additional Details: This evocative image by Robert Mapplethorpe, titled Antinous, reflects the photographer’s reverence for classical beauty and sculptural form. The statue of Antinous—Hadrian’s famed companion—is partially draped, creating a dramatic interplay between fabric and stone, light and shadow. Mapplethorpe’s lens softens the marble contours, lending the figure a lifelike presence that transcends time, evoking both antiquity and intimacy. Originally published in 1994 by teNeues Publishing Company and printed in Germany, this image is presented in a sleek black wood frame with a 1-inch front profile and 3/4-inch side profile, mounted behind a 4-inch mat. The elegant framing enhances the timeless aesthetic of the composition, making it a sophisticated display piece that bridges classical tradition and modern photography.
