EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the majestic marble sculpture of Poseidon, an ancient Greek deity, from the Parthenon in Athens. Created by Henry Corbould in the 19th century, this print beautifully captures the intricate details and grandeur of this iconic work of art. Poseidon, known as the god of the sea and earthquakes in Greek mythology, is depicted here with a powerful stance and a stern expression on his face. The artist has skillfully captured every muscle and sinew of his body, showcasing his divine strength. The sculpture itself originates from the western pediment of the Parthenon, one of Greece's most famous architectural marvels. This illustration comes from "Description of the Collection of Ancient Marbles in the British Museum" published in London in 1830. With its rich historical significance and artistic beauty, this engraving transports us back to ancient Greece - a time when gods ruled over mortals and myths were woven into everyday life. It serves as a reminder not only of our human fascination with divinity but also our enduring connection to classical antiquity. Whether you are an archeology enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art, this remarkable print offers a glimpse into both history and mythology.
