About the Item
"Sleeping Adonis" is a captivating fine art photograph by acclaimed photographer Fidel Santos, featuring a close-up of the head of a weathered marble sculpture. The image evokes a timeless sense of beauty and decay, capturing the delicate facial features of a classical male figure of Adonis, worn smooth by the elements. Cracks, erosion, and patina lend a haunting texture to the stone, emphasizing the passage of time and the fragility of even the most idealized human form.
This high-resolution art photograph focuses on the interplay between light and shadow across the sculpture's face, highlighting the contours of the cheekbones, closed eyes, and parted lips. The composition speaks to themes of lost beauty, classical antiquity, and the melancholic serenity of eternal sleep.
Ideal for collectors of fine art photography, lovers of classical sculpture, and those interested in artistic representations of mythology, "Sleeping Adonis" is a powerful meditation on impermanence and aesthetic legacy.

Large Italian Statue of a Sleeping Nymph
Located in London, GB
A large Italian school carrara marble sculpture depicting a sleeping nymph. The finely carved sculpture is reminiscent of a depiction of Sleeping Ariadne, popularised by the Roman copy of the Hellenistic original, the former being housed at the Vatican. Reclining on rocks, the sleeping nymph is shown draped only below the waist, and her finely modelled form is exemplified by the delicacy of her fingers.
Italian, early 19th century.
Before restoration.
