EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic "Jupiter of Smyrna," a statue of a male divinity believed to be Zeus, dating back to the mid-2nd century in Izmir, Turkey. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this ancient sculpture are truly awe-inspiring, showcasing the skill and artistry of its creators.
The addition of the right arm wielding lightning in 1680 adds an extra layer of symbolism and power to this already impressive piece. Located in the Musee du Louvre in Paris, this statue stands as a testament to both ancient mythology and artistic expression.
As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but feel a sense of reverence for the mythological character it represents. The god-like stature and virility exuded by Jupiter/Zeus is palpable, drawing you into a world where gods walked among mortals.
The carving and bas reliefs on display here speak volumes about Turkish culture and European influences from that time period. It's a reminder of our shared history and interconnectedness as human beings across different regions and eras.
In capturing this moment frozen in time, Angelo has preserved not just an artwork but a piece of antiquity that continues to inspire wonder and admiration centuries later.
