EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable marble statue of Poseidon, dating back to 125-100 BC. Crafted from Parian marble and discovered on the island of Milos alongside the statue of Amphitrite, this awe-inspiring sculpture exudes power and authority. Standing tall with an imposing presence, Poseidon holds his iconic trident in his raised right hand, symbolizing his dominion over the seas. A delightful touch is found next to his right leg - a dolphin-shaped support that adds both aesthetic charm and stability. The craftsmanship displayed in this ancient Greek masterpiece is truly extraordinary. Every intricate detail has been meticulously carved into the stone, bringing forth a lifelike representation of this revered god from Greek mythology. The skillful use of light enhances the texture and contours of the marble, creating depth and dimensionality. As we gaze upon this single object frozen in time, we are transported back to ancient Greece where gods ruled supreme and legends were born. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance behind its creation but also offers a glimpse into our rich historical past. Displayed indoors against a neutral backdrop, this photograph captures every nuance of Poseidon's semi-dressed form with precision and clarity. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity while reminding us of our enduring fascination with mythological tales that have shaped our collective imagination throughout centuries gone by.
