EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent piece of Greek art: the statue of Poseidon, a marble sculpture dating back to the 2nd century BC. Hailing from Melos and currently housed in Athens' National Archaeological Museum, this masterpiece is an embodiment of ancient mythology and artistic finesse. The imposing figure of Poseidon stands tall, exuding power and authority. Carved with meticulous detail, every muscle and sinew seems to come alive in the smooth marble surface. The artist's skillful hands have captured the essence of this mythological character, known as Neptune in Roman mythology. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to ancient Greece - a time when gods ruled over mortals and legends were born. The statue's serene expression hints at Poseidon's dual nature as both protector and punisher of the seas. With its rich historical significance, this sculpture serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Greek civilization. It reminds us not only of their mastery in stone carving but also their profound understanding of human emotions and divine realms. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this iconic work through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details that make up this extraordinary piece while immersing ourselves in the world where gods roamed freely among men.
