Headless - Casa de Pilatos, Seville #spain #espana #europe #travel #photography #nikon #monochrome #blackandwhite #statue
Black and white photograph of a classical marble statue displayed in a niche at Casa de Pilatos in Seville. The sculpture depicts a draped male figure with finely carved folds of fabric cascading around the waist and legs, resting one foot slightly forward in a contrapposto stance. The statue is missing its head and parts of both arms, leaving behind a weathered torso that reveals detailed musculature worn smooth with age. The figure leans gently against a supporting column to the left, adding balance and stability to the composition. The surrounding stone niche is ornately framed with layered rectangular moldings, giving the impression of a shrine-like setting. The texture of the aged stone wall behind the sculpture contrasts with the smoother marble, emphasizing centuries of erosion and preservation. This image captures the timeless beauty of classical art and the serene atmosphere of Seville’s Casa de Pilatos, where Renaissance architecture and Roman antiquities intertwine.
