EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Greek artwork titled "The Birth of Venus Coming out of the Waves Supported by the Hours". The relief, known as the Ludovisi Throne, originates from Locri and dates back to 460-450 BC. It is currently housed in Museo Nazionale Romano (Palazzo Altemps) in Rome. The marble relief measures an impressive 104.1x144 cm and depicts the mythical character Aphrodite emerging gracefully from the sea waves. She is supported by ethereal figures known as the Hours, who surround her with their divine presence. This masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of Greek mythology and its fascination with gods and goddesses. The intricate details carved into this ancient artwork are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its creator, believed to be a Greek artist from the 5th century BC. The composition exudes elegance and harmony, showcasing a naked woman that symbolizes beauty, love, and desire - qualities associated with Aphrodite herself. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to Ancient Greece where mythological tales unfolded against a backdrop of artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with art that transcends time and connects us to our rich cultural heritage.
