EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn's masterpiece, "Pallas Athene" painted around 1657. The painting is currently housed in the prestigious Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, Portugal. Pallas Athene, an ancient Greek goddess of Wisdom, takes center stage with her iconic owl-adorned helmet and a shield embellished with the head of Medusa. The artist's own son, Titus, may have served as the model for this remarkable work. The attention to detail and skillful use of color bring this mythological deity to life on canvas. Rembrandt's portrayal captures both the strength and grace associated with Pallas Athene. As we delve into Greek mythology through this artwork, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that has influenced art throughout centuries.

The photograph itself is part of "The Outline of Art" edited by Sir William Orpen and published by George Newnes Limited in London during the 1950s. It offers us a glimpse into how this timeless masterpiece was appreciated during that era. Whether you are drawn to its historical significance or simply captivated by its beauty, this print allows us to admire one of Rembrandt van Rijn's most celebrated works while connecting us to ancient Greece and its mythical pantheon.
