EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the monumental altar of Hieron II, standing proudly at the entrance of the Neapolis Archaeological Park in Syracuse. The altar, a remarkable example of Hellenistic Greek art, serves as a testament to the ancient civilization that once thrived in this region of Europe. Dating back to approximately 276 BC, this awe-inspiring artwork has withstood the test of time and now stands amidst ruins, sites, excavations, and other monuments within the park. Its grandeur is enhanced by its surroundings - a picturesque landscape adorned with remnants from an ancient era. The photograph itself was captured around 1900 AD by Brogi from Alinari. It beautifully captures not only the intricate details and craftsmanship of the altar but also highlights its harmonious integration into nature's embrace. The lush vegetation and majestic tree provide a stunning backdrop for this historical masterpiece. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported back in time to an era where gods were worshipped and rituals performed on altars such as these. It evokes a sense of wonderment about our ancestors' way of life and their profound connection with spirituality. The Neapolis Archaeological Park offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in history while exploring these fascinating ruins. This particular photograph encapsulates both artistic beauty and archaeological significance – it serves as a visual reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation; art continues to captivate us with its timeless allure.
