EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Zeus Krater, a remarkable artifact from the 15th century. The image depicts Zeus, the powerful god of thunder and lightning, holding the scales of destiny in his hands. With an intense gaze and regal demeanor, he exudes authority and control over fate itself. Beside him stands Hera, his divine consort and queen of the gods, both seated in a majestic chariot. Set against a striking black background, this studio shot highlights every intricate detail of this ancient masterpiece. The krater itself is a large bowl-like vessel adorned with vibrant colors that bring it to life even after centuries have passed. Its significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its symbolic representation of destiny. Surrounded by men and women who are captivated by their presence, this photograph captures the essence of religious devotion during that era. Horses stand nearby as loyal companions to these deities while adding an element of strength and grace to the composition. Preserved within the Archaeological Museums collection in Nicosia, Cyprus, this artifact serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with divinity throughout history. It reminds us of our ancestors' unwavering belief in higher powers that governed their lives. Through Mike Dixon's lens, we are transported back to fifteenth-century Cyprus where mythology intertwines with reality—a moment frozen forever for us to admire and contemplate upon our own destinies.
