EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Marine Venus of Durrell, a remarkable Greek statue dating back to the 3rd century BC. The statue, also known as Aphrodite or Venus Pudica, was discovered in the sea off Rhodes and now resides in the Archaeological Museums collection on the island. The image beautifully captures every intricate detail of this ancient artifact. Standing tall and proud, the goddess Aphrodite is depicted with her body delicately covered by her hands in a modest gesture known as Venus Pudica. Her timeless beauty radiates through her flawless form and serene expression. The color photograph brings life to this religious icon from ancient Greece, allowing us to appreciate its original vibrancy and grandeur. As we gaze upon this studio shot, we are transported back in time to an era where deities were worshipped fervently. The nakedness of Aphrodite symbolizes purity and divinity while emphasizing her role as the goddess of love and beauty. Her exposed breasts further accentuate her femininity and power over desire. This print serves as a window into our rich cultural heritage, reminding us of the artistic mastery achieved by ancient civilizations like Greece. It invites contemplation on themes such as spirituality, mythology, and human perception throughout history.
