EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a clay statuette of Aphrodite and Eros, an exquisite work of art conserved at the National Museum in Reggio Calabria. Dating back to the 5th or 4th century BC, this sculpture represents the epitome of Archaic Greek Art and offers a glimpse into the ancient civilization that thrived in Greece. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every curve and contour of Aphrodite's divine form is meticulously crafted. Her hairdo and hairstyle are beautifully depicted, reflecting the fashion and clothing trends prevalent during that era. The male figure beside her symbolizes Eros, also known as Cupid, further emphasizing their mythological significance. Greek mythology comes alive through this artwork; it transports us to a time when gods and goddesses were revered by mortals. Aphrodite, often referred to as Venus in Roman mythology, was worshipped as the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. This depiction captures her ethereal grace perfectly.

This photograph not only preserves an important piece of history but also serves as a reminder of how ancient civilizations continue to shape our modern world. Alinari Fratelli has skillfully captured this masterpiece with great precision.
