EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of Poseidon, the mighty Greek god of the sea. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 20th century, this artwork is a part of a private collection and holds immense historical significance. The image itself is a digitally cleaned version of an illustration originally featured in "Illustrations of School Classics arranged and described" by G. F. Hill, published by Macmillan in 1903. This carefully restored print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by the talented engraver. Poseidon's commanding presence is beautifully portrayed, with his regal stance and flowing beard symbolizing power and authority. The engraving depicts him holding his iconic trident, which represents his dominion over the seas and oceans. This particular portrayal of Poseidon also connects to ancient history through its mention of Demetrius Poliorcetes, King of Macedon during 306-283 BC. It references a silver tetradrachm coin struck during that era, further highlighting how mythology intertwined with everyday life in classical times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a world where gods ruled supreme and legends were born. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations.
