EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of ancient Greek art and civilization through a print of the "Frieze and East Pediment of the Treasure of Sifni". The artwork, originally built in the Hall of Sifni in the Museum of Delphi, Greece, now finds its home at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Dating back to 525 BCE, this archaic masterpiece showcases intricate details that transport us to a bygone era. The composition features various terrestrial mammals, including horses, as well as other vertebrates. These animals were not only depicted for their physical beauty but also held symbolic significance within ancient Greek mythology. Amongst these creatures stand divine figures such as Apollo and Hercules. Dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect fashion and clothing from that period, they embody power and strength. Their presence tells stories of Hercules' heroic feats while highlighting society's fascination with physical prowess. The scene portrayed on this print evokes a sense of rapport between humans and animals—a testament to how deeply intertwined nature was with everyday life during ancient times. It also offers glimpses into societal dynamics and political aggression prevalent during Greco-Roman civilization. Alinari Fratelli's photograph expertly captures every intricate detail present on this historical artifact. Taken between 1920-1930 ca. , it preserves an invaluable piece of our collective heritage for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its ability to transcend time—connecting us with an era long gone yet forever etched in history books.
