EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The apotheosis of Homer" a stunning bas-relief sculpture created by the Greek artist Archelaus of Priene. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship are beautifully captured in this 19th-century handcoloured copperplate engraving by Innocente Migliavacca. In this magnificent artwork, we witness the divine elevation of Homer, the legendary poet and author of the epic poems Iliad and Odyssey. Surrounding him are various mythological figures representing different aspects of literature, history, and art. Zeus, king of gods, presides over them all while Calliope (muse of epic poetry), Clio (muse of history), Thalia (muse of comedy), Euterpe (muse of music), Melpomene (muse of tragedy), Erato (muse of love poetry), Terpsicore (muse dance), Urania (muse astronomy) among others pay homage to their literary master. The composition is rich with symbolism as it highlights the profound influence that Homer's works had on ancient Greek culture and society. It celebrates his mastery in capturing human emotions, heroic tales, fables, philosophy, and wisdom through his poetic verses. This historical masterpiece serves as a testament to both Archelaus' artistic talent and Homer's enduring legacy. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate the beauty and significance behind this remarkable work that continues to inspire generations with its timeless portrayal.
