EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment from ancient mythology. The mirror, dating back to the 5th century BC and crafted by Etruscan artisans, depicts the enchanting scene of Aphrodite persuading Helen to follow Paris to Troy. Standing at a height of 22 cm, this bronze masterpiece now resides in the Museo Nazionale Etrusco in Villa Giulia, Rome. In this image, we witness the power and allure of Aphrodite as she uses her divine charm to influence Helen's decision. The reclining figures of both goddess and mortal are beautifully portrayed with intricate engravings that bring their characters to life. With wings adorning her back, Aphrodite symbolizes love and desire while Helen represents the epitome of beauty and temptation. The significance of this moment cannot be understated as it marks the beginning of one of history's most legendary conflicts – the Trojan War. As daughter-in-law to King Priam and Queen Hecuba, Helen's elopement with Paris sparked a decade-long battle between Greece and Troy. Through this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness an iconic mythological event unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these tales continue to captivate our imagination and remind us of the timeless themes that shape human existence – love, passion, betrayal, and destiny.
