EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. The image showcases a group of young men engrossed in an intense ball game, their athletic bodies glistening with sweat under the warm Athenian sun. Taken from a statue base discovered at the historic Dipylon Cemetery in Athens, this marble relief dates back to around 510 BC. The composition exudes energy and dynamism as these youthful athletes showcase their physical prowess. Their muscular forms are beautifully sculpted, emphasizing their strength and agility. With every sinewy muscle on display, they play the game with remarkable skill and precision. The backdrop of ancient ruins adds to the sense of history and tradition that permeates this artwork. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that Greece has bestowed upon us. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era where sport held great importance in society - not just for entertainment but also as a symbol of physical excellence and competition. This photograph encapsulates the essence of athleticism, capturing both the gracefulness and raw power exhibited by these young men. Preserved within the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, this piece is part of eDavid Lees Photography Archive's collection. Through his lens, David Lees has immortalized this extraordinary work of art for all to admire – a testament to human achievement through sportsmanship across centuries.
