Standing in timeless bronze contrapposto, the Apollo Citaredo — a celebrated ancient sculpture from the School of Praxiteles housed in the Royal National Museum of Naples — commands the frame in this elegant Fratelli Alinari photographic postcard from the early 1900s. The god of music holds a now-absent lyre in his raised right hand, his curling hair bound by a fillet, his idealized anatomy captured with the meticulous clarity that made Alinari the premier photographic publisher of Italian art treasures. This type of art-documentation card was avidly collected by students of classical antiquity, museum professionals, and Grand Tour travellers eager to bring a piece of antiquity home in their coat pocket. The reverse is blank and unused, preserving the card in excellent archival condition.
