The Goat Amalthea
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating sculpture created by the renowned Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. This exquisite artwork can be found at the Borghese Gallery in Rome, Italy. The photograph, taken around 1890, beautifully captures the intricate details and timeless beauty of this masterpiece. The sculpture depicts a goat with a young child nestled against its side. The child is depicted as nude, showcasing Bernini's exceptional skill in sculpting the human body. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are transported to ancient mythology where goats were often associated with divinity. Amalthea was a minor divinity in Greek and Roman mythology who nurtured Zeus (Jove) when he was an infant. In this sculpture, Bernini masterfully portrays the tender relationship between Amalthea and Zeus as she nourishes him with her milk. The Baroque style of "The Goat Amalthea" is evident through its dynamic composition and lifelike portrayal of both animal and human forms. It exemplifies Bernini's ability to breathe life into marble through his meticulous attention to detail. As we admire this remarkable artwork, it serves as a reminder of Europe's rich artistic heritage spanning over two millennia. The fusion of Renaissance-Baroque styles further enhances its visual impact and cultural significance. Anderson's photograph allows us to appreciate "The Goat Amalthea" from afar while preserving its historical context for future generations to enjoy. Its inclusion in Alinari showcases how art has transcended time and continues to inspire awe even after centuries have passed.
