EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable limestone relief of Dionysos, dating back to the 3rd century. Created during the Proto-Coptic Art period for the Greek Pagan Community in Egypt, this artifact beautifully merges elements of Egyptian and Greek culture. The image depicts Dionysos, a mythical figure from Greek mythology known as Bacchus in Roman mythology, lying on his side with an air of tranquility. The intricate carving and decorative details bring life to this ancient sculpture, highlighting its historical significance. Dionysos is portrayed holding a cluster of grapes, symbolizing his association with wine and revelry. This representation reflects his role as the god of wine and festivities in Greek mythology. The vibrant colors add depth to the relief, enhancing its visual appeal. Located in Ahnassia El-Medina in Beni-Souef, Upper Egypt, this relic offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage that existed within ancient Egyptian society. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess prevalent during that era. Mike Dixon's expert photography captures every nuance and intricacy of this stone object with great precision. Through his lens, viewers can appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also gain insight into how art was used to express religious beliefs at that time. This print is an invaluable piece for art enthusiasts seeking to explore diverse cultures through their artistic expressions while appreciating their historical context without commercial use intentions
