EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases ancient Greek marble bas-reliefs, engraved by Henry Corbould in the 19th century. The fragments of these exquisite bas-reliefs were part of Lord Elgin's collection brought to the British Museum. This particular illustration is from "Description of the Collection of Ancient Marbles in the British Museum, Part IX" published in 1842. The image transports us back to a time when mythological figures and characters held great significance in Greek culture. Apollo, a prominent figure in Greek mythology, takes center stage alongside other mythological beings like Diana (Artemis). These gods and goddesses were revered as divine entities with heavenly powers. The intricate engravings on marble depict scenes from various myths and pagan rituals that formed an integral part of ancient Greek religion. The artwork reflects not only religious beliefs but also provides valuable insights into archaeological discoveries made during that era. Beyond its historical value, this print captures the essence of artistry prevalent during ancient Greece. It serves as a reminder of Europe's rich cultural heritage and its influence on subsequent artistic movements. Bridgeman Images has skillfully preserved this piece through their fine art finder platform, allowing us to appreciate and delve into the depths of history through visual representation.
