EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Colossus of Rhodes, Philips Galle, Hadrianus Junius, 1572" takes us back in time to the wonder world of ancient Rhodes. The image showcases a detailed drawing or sketch of the magnificent bronze statue known as the Colossus of Rhodes. Standing tall and proud at the entrance of the harbor, this colossal figure was believed to be Helios, the Greek god of sun. The silhouette captures the maritime atmosphere perfectly with ships and vessels sailing around it. The artist skillfully portrays its massive legs and feet straddling both sides of the harbor, symbolizing protection for all who entered. People are shown in a worshipful attitude towards this awe-inspiring masterpiece. History tells us that an earthquake in 227 BC destroyed this enormous head-turning structure. However, through Quint Lox's lens and artistic interpretation, we can now appreciate its grandeur once again. The print also includes Latin text inscribed on a tablet held by one hand of the statue. It adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this already fascinating piece. Quint Lox has beautifully captured not only a moment frozen in time but also our curiosity about one of history's wonders - a bronze marvel that stood astride sail-filled seas centuries ago. This print is sure to evoke admiration for ancient craftsmanship while igniting our imagination about what life must have been like during that era.
