EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the "Female statue, known as the Auxerre Goddess". Created by an anonymous Greek artist in the 7th century BC, this limestone sculpture stands at a height of 75 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The statuette's exact origins remain shrouded in mystery, having been discovered in 1907 within the reserve of the Auxerre museum. The goddess is depicted wearing richly adorned garments that drape elegantly around her body. Her frontality and daedalic style reflect early archaic Greek art, while her long hair cascades down her back with intricate detail. With a belt cinching her waist and a gown flowing gracefully to her feet, she exudes an air of regal elegance. Her hand delicately rests on her clothing, adding a touch of realism to this ancient masterpiece. The Auxerre Goddess represents both orientalizing style and dedalique style prevalent during its creation period. This timeless artwork serves as a testament to ancient Greek craftsmanship and their devotion to creating lifelike representations of divine figures. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured every nuance of this remarkable sculpture through their expert photography. This print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate the magnificence of this enigmatic female deity from centuries past.
