EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Statue of Zeus or Poseidon, often referred to as the God from Sea. Created in 460 BC by Kalamis, a renowned Greek sculptor from the 5th century BC, this bronze sculpture is housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. Standing at an impressive height of 209 cm, this masterpiece represents the pinnacle of Greek art and craftsmanship. The statue's attribution to Kalamis adds further prestige to its historical significance. Believed to depict either Zeus or Poseidon, two powerful deities in Greek mythology associated with water and sea, it exudes strength and divine presence. The intricate details carved into this ancient artifact are truly remarkable. Every contour and muscle on the figure's body is meticulously crafted, showcasing a level of skill that has stood the test of time. The nudity portrayed here reflects both artistic tradition and reverence for human form prevalent during ancient Greece. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured by Luisa Ricciarini through her lens, we are transported back in time to witness a piece of antiquity come alive before our eyes. This photograph not only celebrates Greek civilization but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with history and archaeology.
