EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze statue, known as the Lady of Kalymnos, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Greece. Discovered by a fisherman in the Aegean Sea off the coast of the island of Kalymnos in late 1994, this sculpture is believed to date back to the Hellenistic Period, around the late 2nd century BC. The Lady of Kalymnos is currently housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece, where she continues to intrigue and inspire visitors from around the world. The statue depicts a woman of advanced age, her face etched with the lines of time and wisdom. Her posture is serene and dignified, with one hand resting on her hip and the other holding a veil to her chest. The intricate details of her clothing and hairstyle are beautifully rendered, revealing the skill and artistry of the ancient Greek sculptor. The Hellenistic Period, which followed the Classical Period, was characterized by a focus on individuality and naturalism in art. The Lady of Kalymnos is a prime example of this trend, with her lifelike portrayal and expressive features. Her discovery in the sea is a reminder of the vast cultural treasures that lie beneath the waves, waiting to be unearthed and appreciated by future generations. The Lady of Kalymnos is not only a work of art, but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives and values of the ancient Greeks. Her presence in the National Archaeological Museum is a reminder of Greece's enduring legacy and its continued commitment to preserving and celebrating its rich cultural heritage.
