EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Head of Aphrodite, of the Capitoline type, a remarkable sculpture from the 2nd century. Created by Praxiteles, a renowned Greek sculptor who lived between 400 and 330 BC, this piece is considered a copy of an original work attributed to him in 360 BC. Currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, it represents the timeless beauty and elegance associated with Aphrodite. The intricate details of this sculpture are truly awe-inspiring. The artist skillfully captures every delicate feature of Aphrodite's face - her flawless complexion, enchanting eyes, and graceful expression. The elaborate hairstyle adds to her divine allure as it frames her visage with intricate precision. Aphrodite was worshipped as a goddess of love and beauty in ancient Greece. This mythological figure holds great significance not only within Greek mythology but also throughout various religions and cultures that have embraced polytheism or paganism over time. The influence of Roman art can be observed in this sculpture as well since it belongs to the Roman Empire era. Its presence at the Louvre Museum allows visitors to immerse themselves in ancient history while admiring its artistic brilliance firsthand. This print by Frank Buffetrille beautifully captures the essence of Aphrodite's headpiece Venus de Milo (Vénus Anadyomène). It serves as a testament to both Praxiteles' exceptional craftsmanship and our enduring fascination with classical antiquity.
